Lossy Recollections is a set of five film and video pieces that investigate frictions produced when the past encounters forms and methods of documentation, and how time-based media—old and new—operate in the complex project of re-presencing the past. Specifically, this project investigates elusive pasts—pasts that have produced inconclusive remnants—and offers ways to navigate these events in the absence of clear traces. The five film and video pieces engage a range of cultural histories, personal histories, and technological histories. The project is motivated by research in critical studies fields such as media archeology, feminist science and technology studies, trauma studies, and subaltern studies. Informed by this research, the works in Lossy Recollections carry careful attention to media materialities and technical mechanisms, addressing theoretical questions through the methods, materials, and forms of the works.
