THE TWOFOLD COMMITMENT
TRINH T. MINH-HA
$55.00
Primary Information
204 pages, softcover with colour images
9781737797968
To me, filmmaker and theorist Trinh T. Minh-ha is someone who is so aware of the medium she works in, and committed to reaching beyond its limits. The Twofold Commitment is attentive especially to the fictions made through sound and image, and the way language can be a trap. She writes "the moment one gathers to show and tell is also the moment one starts the journey of forgetting." The potential of polyphony is everywhere in this book and I also love the approach to representing moving image on the page, not just a sequence of stills but sonic elements, even those which are ambient, kept in dialogue. My own copy of this book I bought in Japan last year and it's been an ongoing point of reference since, and I wanted you to read it too.
