THE PERFORMANCE OF TRAUMA IN MOVING IMAGE ART BY DIRK DE BRUYN
Review by Adrian Martin
Dirk de Bruyn’s book is a bold and original piece of in-depth, sustained research that brings together two areas have never been brought into relationship in this way, at this length. On the one hand, there is the lineage of experimental audiovisual work. (I personally dislike the visual-centric term ‘moving image art’ – sound has been around for a while now! – but each person chooses their own label, wisely or not.)
