Chris Oakley

Revisions explores the function of moving images as collective memory and historical documents. Since the advent of the newsreel, world events have been recorded and shared, and images of war and atrocity have tended to become the most iconic, appealing to our sense of historical interest and fascination with death in equal measure. Revisions explores this phenomenon through a graphic redaction of iconic images of the past 70 years, offered in parallel to the historical revisionism that has become mainstream in recent decades.

We screened Chris' work 'Revisions' at the Göteborg Culture Festival 2012, Sweden in the Big M, check it out here.
