Re-enactment

The cluster (SITUATIONS #54 to #58) examines artistic strategies of Re-enactment. Every re-enactment is a repetition, and in repetition there is always variation – a deviation from one to the next that creates a shift in meaning. In re-enacting the photographic, events and actions recede into the background while the photographic representation take center stage. How does it reproduce and represent reality, and how is its re-production always a process of creation?
