商品描述
The first monograph on artist and filmmaker Leslie Thornton: essential, foundational scholarship on her influential work in film and video. Produced on the occasion of a major solo exhibition of Leslie Thornton at the MIT List Visual Arts Center, as well as a recent solo exhibition at Kunstverein Nurnberg, this richly illustrated volume will be the first monograph on this important artist and filmmaker, and offers essential, foundational scholarship on Thornton's influential work in film and video.
Thornton's early encounters with experimental, structuralist, and cinéma vérité traditions fueled her iconoclastic take on the moving image and gave shape to her practice of weaving together her own footage and voice with archival film and audio. In part through her forceful and dynamic use of sound, Thornton exposes the limits of language and vision in her works, while acknowledging the ways that language and vision nevertheless remain central to scientific discourse and narrative in general. Her work consistently interrogates modes of representation and the violence of looking, pushing beyond critiques of the gaze to consider biases in perception, or the way voice and sound can undermine an otherwise dominant visual narrative.

商品描述(中文翻譯)
《藝術家及電影製作人 Leslie Thornton 的首部專著：對她在電影和視頻領域影響力作品的基本、基礎性學術研究。》
本書是為了慶祝 Leslie Thornton 在麻省理工學院列表視覺藝術中心的重大個展，以及她在紐倫堡藝術協會的近期個展而製作的，這本豐富插圖的卷冊將是這位重要藝術家和電影製作人的首部專著，並提供對 Thornton 在電影和視頻領域影響力作品的基本、基礎性學術研究。
Thornton 早期接觸實驗性、結構主義和 cinéma vérité 傳統，激發了她對動態影像的反叛性看法，並塑造了她將自己的影像和聲音與檔案電影和音頻交織在一起的實踐。部分透過她強而有力且充滿活力的聲音使用，Thornton 在她的作品中揭示了語言和視覺的局限，同時承認語言和視覺在科學話語和敘事中仍然是核心的方式。她的作品持續質疑表現模式和觀看的暴力，超越對凝視的批評，考慮感知中的偏見，或聲音和音效如何削弱原本主導的視覺敘事。
本書由麻省理工學院列表視覺藝術中心和紐倫堡藝術協會共同出版。
