Investigating disorientation through the adoption of role-play in contemporary fine art practice
Abstract
dc:description.abstractThrough my programme of practice-led research I have used role-play as a vehicle for the exploration of identity and politics in a series of art works encompassing video, drawing and photography. This research discusses the highly spatialised ways of describing cultural identity, covering aspects of: film, mapping, spatial practices and theory, performativity and translation, as well as a body of art works by the artist- researcher and other contemporary artists. I move through overlapping terrains of female geographers, cultural and visual theorists, filmmakers, architectural historians and theorists, sociologists, psychoanalysts, art writers and artists.
