MIRAJ journal covers

MIRAJ Volume 11 Issue 1 considers a range of experiments in film and moving image whose components have been brought into relation with other art forms. The close alignment that these moving image artists have with still photography, painting, or sculpture, offer productive ways of thinking about film representation, providing the means of dismantling – or perhaps repurposing – the homogenising technologies of cinematic representation and its apparatus. Issue 2 brings together writing and conversations on contemporary and historic artists who find timely resonances both of a political and ecological nature in archival re-readings and retrievals.
