Ed Atkins
Published by MoMA PS1, New York, 2013, unpaginated, 12.7 × 20.2 cm, English
Price: €13

Produced on the occasion of the exhibition Ed Atkins at MoMA PS1, New York, 20 January – 14 April, 2013.

Known for his high-definition videos that defy narrative conventions, Ed Atkins works with filmic and text-based forms in technological transition. The artist considers HD technology deathlike because of how it intensifies the visibility of the filmed subject, creating an image that prioritises its own representation over the language, character, and emotions of the figures it depicts. Often creating installations that include collage, drawing, and other mediums, the artist deploys this bodiless movie format to highlight the conflicting intimacies that today’s mechanisms of cultural production represent and allow us to achieve.
