A-W-O-R-L-D-O-F-O-U-R-O-W-N Eline McGeorge, 2012 ISBN 978-1-907908-05-7 Soft-cover, 32 pages, 21.6 x 29.7 cm. Published in the UK in 2012 by Dent-De-Leone (www.dentdeleone.co.nz) Edited by Malin Ståhl, designed by åbäke, printed by Aldgate Press (500 copies) Funded by Norwegian Arts Council. The text in this book is based on the video A World Of Our Own, Eline McGeorge, 2012.
The artist-book follows the video ‘A World of Our Own’ in installation, and contains a transcript that uses a narrative to expand on the references in the video, inciting the visual elements of the abstract animated parts. The book contains collages that draw on these references, printed on paper made from recycled GBP notes, and the incompatibility between different paper formats (A4 and US letter) gives the book its shape.
Nanna Heidenreich, curator, Forum Expanded, Berlin Film Festival, 2012: ‘A World of Our Own’ weaves together stories of various Cosmo-figures, female explorers of worlds known and unknown, actual and fictional freedom fighters across different times and places, who assemble for a future mission in the world’s largest financial centre. They are linked through time and space through a montage of various elements, such as drawn animation, video footage shot by the artist, and found footage, combined with sound snippets from different sources, interview excerpts, radio transmission, music, written text, again animated. Both elusive and concrete ‘A World of Our Own“ addresses current political struggles and feminist legacies, the past seeping into the present and enabling a different future, one in the here and now, a constant loop, just like the video itself forms a continuously playing sequence.’ |
