Description

Temporal Territories: An Anthology on Indigenous Experimental Cinema

Author/Editor: COUSIN Collective (Sky Hopinka, Adam Khalil, Alexandra Lazarowich, Adam Piron)

CONTENTS

COUSIN Collective and Light Industry present the first critical anthology devoted to Indigenous experimental cinema. Temporal Territories brings together newly commissioned pieces alongside reprints of key writings on the subject, featuring theoretical interventions and artist portfolios, intergenerational dialogues and manifestos. With topics ranging from science fiction to found footage filmmaking to the strange case of the DeMille Indians, the book surveys a varied and vital body of work, and suggests new forms still to come.

“The purpose of this collection is not to define what this movement is or is not, but rather to illustrate some of what drew us to these works and these artists, whom we admire for their creativity, their risk and their hope,” COUSIN writes in their introduction. “We hope this collection can be something like a celebration, a point along your path that fosters conversations and connections, as it shows some of the different ways that different Peoples are thinking about and making work as Indigenous artists and scholars. There are no rules to this thing, and you are not alone.”

This project is supported by Nia Tero, the Robert Rauschenberg Foundation and the Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts. Special thanks to Max Weinman.
