Mediating Subjectivity through Materiality in Documentary Practice

Authors: Brylla, C.

Editors: Markham, T. and Rodgers, S.

Publisher: Peter Lang

Abstract:

This chapter discusses my documentary film practice, which explores the filmic mediation of subjectivity through the materiality of the pro-filmic event and the materiality of the film text. One of the major challenges for documentary filmmakers lies in the identification and mediation of subjective experiences and their expository degree of traits unique to the person being filmed. But, how can a spatiotemporally highly localized, first-person phenomenon like “subjectivity” be turned into a “collective” subjectivity that is experienced by an audience?
