Event Description

Sarah Pucill leads a practical and discursive workshop exploring re-enactment as a method for integrating Cahun’s writing and the photographs made in collaboration with Marcel Moore.  

The session will consist of Pucill showing clips across her two films that explore relationships between the writing and images in key manuscripts, namely ‘Cancelled Confessions’ (1930) in ‘Magic Mirror’ (16mm, bw, 2013) and ‘Confessions to the Mirror’ (1954) in ‘Confessions to the Mirror’ (16mm, col+bw, 2016).  

Clips will be selected to discuss the practical issues of why and how Pucill wanted to re-stage the photographs, and what the various methods were.  

This is in addition to the combination of connections made between Cahun’s writing and the images in the photographs.  

Issues of intermediality such as stasis and movement, silence and sound and speech that occur throughout the language of the tableaux vivants that as re enactments of the photographic images comprise the core of the films.  

No prior filmmaking or photography experience is required.
