Abstract
Abstract Through the lenses of feminism and psychoanalysis, this essay traces the use of screens, both literal and metaphoric, in the performance and video-installation works of the multi-disciplinary artist Suzanne Bocanegra. These complex pieces engage with ideas around voyeurism, identification, and screen memory, evoking Bocanegra's idiosyncratic cultural history of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
