Biopic
Issue 40:4 | December 2020
Editor: Eve Sullivan
Thriving on the promise of instant accessibility fostered by digital media, and on the erosion of the boundaries between the public and the private, this edition looks to ideas of portraiture in the expanded field. Through the appraisal of a range of practices across contemporary art and film, it examines the social, cultural, technological and material processes at work in the construction of the self.
