Claire Doherty, Angela Weight and Richard Hylton. Introduced by Steven Bode
Jananne Al-Ani's haunting, delicately honed work in video and photography is distinguished by its evocative portraits and its intimate and compelling narratives.
This publication is the first monographic survey of Jananne Al-Ani's work highlighting video installations from 1996 onwards while referencing a selection of earlier photographic pieces. With the aid of two newly commissioned essays and an interview with the artist, the book traces themes and preoccupations that have persisted over that time and which continue to reverberate throughout this highly inventive and distinctive body of work.
Claire Doherty's text The Triumph of Echo explores tragedy in theatre, film and art, while Angela Weight examines the development of the artist's concerns from her earlier photographic work to her most recent video installations. Richard Hylton's interview grants a rare insight into the way Al-Ani's practice negotiates the problematic legacies of Orientalism.
