Performing Voices and Bodies Panel
At Film Forum 2020
Claire Holdsworth will be presenting ‘Ventriloquial bodies: Re-framing ephemerality in artists’ film & video
‘This paper will consider the aural overlaps between feminist performance and artists’ moving image in London during the late -1970s and early- 1980s. The paper will explore the liminal (transformational, destabilising) dynamics of the sounded voice within these practices, and aims to shift canonised perception of the ‘disembodied voice’ in film/media studies (Chion, 1999; Silvermann, 1984).’
