Get behind Mangolte's camera in this groundbreaking film, followed by a discussion

Babette Mangolte emerged as a key figure in New York鈥檚 1970s avant garde art, film and performance scenes, and is celebrated equally for her work as a filmmaker, photographer and cinematographer. For over four decades, her practice has addressed complex questions about the act of looking.

In The Camera: Je, or La Cam茅ra: I, viewers can experience the act of shooting photographs from the photographer鈥檚 perspective. Using a technique called the 鈥榮ubjective camera鈥�, Mangolte invites the viewer behind the camera to witness the artist鈥檚 process and the power relations at play. The film is structured in three parts: studio photography, street photography and a final section in which the images produced are reviewed.

Programme

The Camera: Je, or La Cam茅ra: I, United States1977, 16mm, black and white and colour, sound, 88 min

The screening is followed by a discussion and Q&A with the artist.

About Babette Mangolte

Babette Mangolte (b.1941, France) is a French-American artist working in film, video, photography and installation. She was one of the first women admitted to the Louis Lumi猫re-founded National School of Photography and Cinematography in Paris, and has since made seven feature-length films and a number of non-narrative short films exploring movement, landscape, subjectivity and the acts of looking and image-making. Mangolte emerged as a key figure in New York鈥檚 1970s avant garde art, film and performance scenes. In addition to her own works, she has served as cinematographer for artists including Chantal Akerman, Joan Jonas, Yvonne Rainer and Michael Snow, filmed and photographed significant performances by artists Trisha Brown, Robert Morris, and Marina Abramovi膰 and documented exhibitions by Robert Rauschenberg. Recent solo exhibitions include Kunsthalle Wien, Vienna (2016) and VOX centre de l鈥檌mage contemporaine, Montreal (2013). Mangolte is currently a professor at the University of California, San Diego.
