Alternative Screens in Western Avant-Garde Cinematic Practices: A Media Archaeological Approach

Description

As a part of alternative exhibition modes, alternative screens have largely been overlooked in film studies. Nevertheless, they have a long history of their own, as demonstrated in Early Cinema and avant-garde practices. projection. Alternative screens exist mostly in non-entertainment cinematic practices, where we discover numerous examples whose aesthetic experience is based on their location, spatiality, and site specificity. Thus, the specific context of the exhibition space and how the screen appears within that space will be at the center of my investigation. Such an approach foregrounds the physical space and highlights attributes such as spatiality, materiality, performance, liveness, hapticity, interactivity, immersion, multiplicity, and
three-dimensionality – all in contrast to the conventional “flat” screen experience.
