Further Direction

Cinema is dead?

Exploring articles written by Peter Greenaway of the issue of cinemas demise. Relating these to literary theorists such as Roland Barthes and Jonathan Culler on Deconstruction theory. Within all of this is the notion of authorship, Micheal Foucault (1969) explores this in his essay What is an Author?.

Authorship is entwined within my practice as, as an artist it is easy to sub contract certain aspects of the work to 3rd parties, in essence allowing for outsider input to occur. This is where Barthes relates as his essay The Death of the Author is relevant to this argument. Exploring this within my research and practice will allow for a clearer view and understanding of the subject(s) that I'm researching.
