Carolyn Lazard: Hintertür, Red

In their artistic practice, Carolyn Lazard questions the capitalist idealization of health and productivity by establishing “radical possibilities of incapacity” as a practice to rethink conventional understandings of labor. Drawing on these concepts of “crip time,” Lazard’s work explores fugitive occupations of dominant time and institutional space. Hintertür is a video installation drawing from the sensorial legacy of flicker films. It points to the mutual embodiment of both the filmmaker and the viewer, animating questions of agency and access concerning phenomenological cinema. This book was published on the occasion of Lazard’s exhibition at Kunstverein Braunschweig.
