Bøker av Trinh T. Minh-ha

A handsomely designed artist's book expanding on Minh-Ha's film What about China?The Vietnam-born, Berkeley-based multimedia artist and leading postcolonial theorist Trinh T. Minh-ha (born 1952) is celebrated internationally for her films such as Reassemblage (1982) and Surname Viet Given Name Nam (1985) and influential books such as Lovecidal (2016) and Elsewhere, Within Here (2010). Publications on her art are few, however. This beautifully designed artist's book was conceived from the script and visuals of Minh-Ha's film What about China? (2022), in which she films the Chinese countryside and a series of voices share personal experiences, poems and traditional songs, reflecting on China's past and present. Deftly uniting image and text, Traveling in the Dark expands upon the film's conceptual scaffolding with writings, poems and aphorisms as well as conversations with other filmmakers and theorists.

Framer Framed brings together the scripts and visuals of three of Tinh Minh-ha's provocative films: Reassemblage, Naked Spaces-Living is Round and Surname Viet Given Name Nam and offers a large selection of related interviews.

In this collection of provocative essays on Third World art and culture, filmmaker and theorist Trinh Minh-ha offers new challenges to Western regimes of knowledge.

Brings together Trinhs recent conversations on film and art, music and language, life and theory and is an essential work for readers in contemporary film art, cultural politics, feminist thought and postcolonial theories.

Trinh Minh-ha explores the way technology transforms our perception of reality. With her signature amalgam of feminism, Eastern Philosophy, and practical understanding of filmmaking, she presents a much-needed advance in our concept of the real in a technological age.
