- Summary:
- "In a world saturated with images, some, strangely, are lacking. This edition of MOMENTA aims to open up multiple perspectives for experimentation and speculation on the nature, uses, and production of missing images. In Praise of the Missing Image explores both contemporary challenges in relation to the image and the current consequences of the complex dynamics involved in constructing narratives. Which stories are told, how, and by whom? This publication presents a text by the curator, the 22 exhibitions in the Biennale, as well as an exclusive series of graphic scores by the artist Lou Sheppard. In their original essays, the guest authors enrich and broaden the reflections inherent to the themes of the curator, Marie-Ann Yemsi: Françoise Vergès wonders how to make the narratives of "missing images" heard in the image, and Yaniya Lee suggests that we move away from representation and, instead, embrace alternative methodologies for liberation."-- Provided by publisher.
