In Camera: a Video Practice of Living, Learning and Connecting

Reading the Virtual Window

Medium specificity and materiality are key questions in this exploration of video. Friedberg's project in The Virtual Window is to trace the evolution of the relationships between technologies of representation and the cultural perspectives in which they arise and inform. I made these video records of myself reading the book as a way of visualizing the temporal quality of a book that is simultaneously contained within and erased by the bounded pages. The text exists in a state of simultaneity, but the act of reading unspools and fixes it into a linear experience. Video adds a dimensional layer.
