Claudia Joskowicz: Stillness in Motion

In straying from a documentary format, Joskowicz’s video art reopens the foregone conclusions of historical record

Through long takes, double shots and dialectical oppositions, Bolivian video artist Claudia Joskowicz (born 1968) challenges the traditional focus of the camera, and creates an active reconfiguration of the gaze. Highlighting the role of the spectator in the creation of historical narratives, she invites reflection on collective memory.
