Confessional Video Art and Subjectivity: Private Experiences in Public Spaces

＂This is the first book of its kind to examine the development of the confessional subject in video art, and demonstrate how it can provide a vital platform for navigating politics of self, subjectivity, and resistance in society. Analysing a range of case studies from the 1960s up until the present day, the book reframes video art as an urgent socio-political tool and argues for its growing relevance in contemporary art and society. In doing so, it provides a framework through which to view this constantly-evolving genre and a deeper understanding of wider contemporary video practices＂--
