Filmography: page 283.Includes bibliographical references.Traveling in the Dark is an exhibition and a publication by the world-renowned film director, poet, writer, music composer, literary critic, and art theorist Trinh T. Minh-ha, a distinguished professor in the departments of Gender & Women's Studies and Rhetoric at the University of California, Berkeley. The book is a fully fledged artistic project conceived by Trinh from the script and visuals of her film What about China? and expanded with her writings, poems, and aphorisms as well as various interviews that investigate "a relationship to infinity," "memory of the mirror," and the "in-between." The book offers an experience with many possible entries, words, voices, thoughts, images, and pauses. As a visual, poetic, and philosophical experience, Traveling in the Dark invites us to rethink and experience "reality" differently from an approach mainly based on knowledge and re-presentation that we already possess or that is imposed on us. In other words: How can we learn to see our world without a priori seeing and knowing? In a time when the "all-seen" and "all-told" invade and control our daily lives, our private spheres and urban spaces, where are the areas of invisibility and shadows that leave us autonomy to see and to think, to say and to represent, to remember and to imagine? Traveling in the Dark engages the visitor and reader in an open montage of visual, sonic, and poetic textures, whose resonances, vibrations, recollections, exchanges, brushes, reflections, and passages undermine any pretense of fixed identity, historical truth, or prescribed territory. The exhibition and publication are supported by the Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai. Exhibition: Rockbund Art Museum, Shanghai, China (12.11.2022 - 05.02.2023). -- Provided by publisher."Trinh T. Minh-ha (1952, Hanoi) is a filmmaker, writer, literary theorist, composer and professor. She teaches in the University of California, Berkeley's departments of Rhetoric, and Gender and Women's Studies. Born in Hanoi in 1952, Trinh emigrated to the United States in 1970 where she studied musical composition, ethnomusicology and French literature, completing her PhD dissertation in 1977 under the title: Un Art sans Oeuvre: l'Anonymat dans les Arts Contemporains [An Art Without Oeuvre: Anonymity in Contemporary Arts]. Since the early 1980s she has developed a complex theoretical, visual and poetic response to the implicit politics regulating the production of discourses and images of cultural difference. Working through the multidimensional effects of imperialism and neo-colonial modernity, her works played a pivotal role in the emergence of postcolonial theory and critique. Her now canonical 1989 book, Woman, Native, Other, investigates the contradictory imperatives faced by an 'I' positioned 'in difference' as a 'Third World woman' in the act of writing, as well as in critiquing the roles of the creator, intellectual and anthropologist. Trinh has been making films for over thirty years and among her best known are Reassemblage (1982) and Surname Viet Given Name Nam (1985). Alongside films and installations, she has published numerous essays and books on cinema, cultural politics, feminism and the arts." -- Provided by publisher.- Subjects: Exhibition catalogs.; Trinh, T.
