Claudia Joskowicz: Stillness in Motion
Video art as an event: Joskowicz's work as a space for critical openness
Stillness in Motion offers a panoramic view of the last fifteen years of production by prominent Bolivian video artist Claudia Joskowicz, known for her commitment to the history, memory, and space of Latin American social realities.
With a hybrid format between photography and film, Joskowicz moves away from documentary approaches, avoiding closed narratives in which ethical and political conclusions are given.
Through sequence shots, double takes, and dialectical oppositions (paralysis-movement, silence-noise, center-periphery), he questions what the camera is traditionally interested in and opens a space that enables the active reconfiguration of the gaze.
Thus, his work invites a profound reconsideration of collective memory, pointing toward the role of the spectator in the creation of historical narrative.
