Marquee Survivals: A Multimodal Historiography of Cinema's Recycled Spaces

Sense of Pachuca Video Essays

It enables us to think beyond recuperation and preservation, beyond text and context, beyond physical artefacts and archives.  As I will argue, the remix also opens onto the possibility of new film histories and historiographic futures: not the digital annihilation of the celluloid archive, but a reinvigorated theorizing of film history that owes and offers something to the living present.” 

Katherine Groo, "Cut, Paste, Glitch, and Stutter: Remixing Film History”

The following video essays engage with filmic representations related to the Projecting 1943 path. A primary concern throughout the short essays is the in/ability of the films to represent the pachuca as a character with agency, or even quite literally a voice (for example, in Del otro lado del puente the catatonic mother cannot speak).

The collection of these video essays represent my early experimentation with the form. I first showed the first two together at the 2012 iMAPPENING exhibition
