Uber Memoria XIX Part VIII

Research Background International developments in video art include questioning the world through the social device of the language of memory and time, from Vasulka and Tarkovsky's theory to more local and new work, such as Julie Gough exploring memory and place in Tasmania. Wilson interrogates how memory can be used to first, represent memory as a device for social narrative; and second, situate this narrative as an advancement of both slow cinema and Post Neo-Modernism. Wilson addresses this research question in different ways in order to find new knowledge and evolve research in this area further. Research Contribution Uber Memoria XIX Part VIII differs from the previous Parts 1-7 by focusing on the notion of multiplicity in Relativism, one of the three key parts of the Post Neo Modernist Manifesto (2015) as located in the new emerging area of Post Neo-Modernist film. The main consideration for this work investigates the first aspect by establishing characters in filmed sequences posed as in 800 year-old German medieval paintings to create a memory of its former in new locations, to then establish an indicator for multiplicity as each character cycles through the same series of poses. The research employs these indicators to measure how multiplicity through Relativism can be modelled and adapted through film to arrive at a new benchmark in understanding how such deliberations can be established in this medium. Research Significance This work has been exhibited at 'THE BODY LANGUAGE', curator Luca Curci, (2016); Bogata Arte Contemporaneo, Bogata, Colombia from January 21 to March 12, 2016.
