Andrew Kötting’s Louyre: This Our Still Life. An Archival Reading
| Resumo: | The paper explores the experimental documentary Louyre: This Our Still Life (2011) by the subversive British filmmaker Andrew Kötting, drawing on contemporary conceptualizations of archival art. It reads the film as “anarchival” through the lens of Derrida’s psychoanalytic deconstruction of the concept of the archive and the curational discourses that were influenced by it. Furthermore, placing the film within a democratic horizon, the paper argues that the film is also a counter-archive, in that, as a public archive that sublimates trauma, it enunciates counter-hegemonic, non-patriarchal discourses on art, disability and care. |
