Image as Site

• By appropriating the concept of site from the discourses of site-specific art and the concept of field from sound art, and applying them to the moving image, the project Image as Site explore the potential of video art for enabling certain elements of performance that appear in these discourses. The research originates from an understanding of video as a particular mode of inquiry that activates relationships between bodies, images, and places. The project expands this understanding and engages it to create meetings between visual arts and film and media practices. The practice of visual artist and professor in Film and Media Ellen J Røed is at the centre of the project, which is developed in an interdisciplinary research environment at Stockholm University of Arts and funded by the Swedish Research Council.
