Azkuna Zentroa presents from October 19 to November 24 the cinema cycle Displaced bodies within the Zinemateka program. This cycle will contemplate the debate between the moving bodies and its filming.
Based on this question, we seek to elucidate whether audiovisual recordings of practices that focus on the body—contemporary dance and artistic performance—faithfully capture their supposed inherent truth.
Description:
The cycle seeks to highlight different moments throughout the history of contemporary art, cinema and dance that have become unique milestones from which to observe this discussion.
