Overview |
"Based on the early Biograph short "Photographing a Female Crook" (aka "A Subject for the Rogues Gallery"), the performance recorded in "Hysterionics" probes “the resistant body’s relationship to the camera eye” (CT). Whereas the woman of 1904 disfigured herself by grimacing wildly in an attempt to thwart the disciplinary gaze of the police, Tennant’s disturbing rendition over a century later is further eviscerated by the accumulation of digital artifacts." - Seth Watter, May 2013 Curator, Self Obliteration (Magic Lantern, Providence Rhode Island) |
