Lecture by Juliane Kremberg (Theater Researcher) in conjunction with the \u201cMy Theme\u201d lecture series<\/p>\n
The etymology of the word \u201cvideo\u201d from the Latin word for \u201cI see\u201d alone indicates that the medium can be considered both a technology as well as an aesthetic process, that is as perception itself. But what happens when the \u201cI\u201d appears in the images? The self and the image then engage in dialogue. In contrast, the word \u201ctheater\u201d stems from an ancient Greek word for a place or site of seeing. What exactly happens when the place where something is to be seen merges with the subject who sees? The initial result is a double performance; the subject dances on the stage of the image. Many contemporary video works place the focus on the performance of identity. However, according to the thesis of Kremberg\u2019s lecture, when also the object viewed, the image itself, is constitutively assumed to be a performance, then video, like theater, functions as a dual mode of presentation. Also like theater, video has the particular capacity of consistently revealing our relationship to identity as an ever-questionable category of truth.<\/p>\n
*Juliane Kremberg* (born 1986) studied Applied Theater Studies in Gie\u00dfen as well as contemporary dance, video, and photography in Istanbul. She is currently an artistic and research assistant at the Institute for Theater, Film, and Media Studies at the University of Frankfurt. Drawing on her thesis \u201cVideo in Performance \/ Video als Performance \u2013 Virtuelle und Reale Bilderpr\u00e4senz in Zeitgen\u00f6ssischen Performances\u201d (2012) and her professional experience as a director, filmmaker, and video designer, Kremberg is presenting the lecture \u201cVideo as Theater \u2013 On Theatrality in Medial Self-Staging,\u201d in which she has drawn parallels between video and theater on the basis of individual works in the exhibition \u201ePer Speculum Me Video\u201c.<\/p>\n
*My Theme* provides an opportunity for emerging scholars from Frankfurt and surrounding areas to present focal points of their research and interests to a broad publish in conjunction with the public programs of the Frankfurter Kunstverein. Emphasis is not placed on presenting a classical academic lecture, but instead the talk is intended to offer exciting insights into contemporary research.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
