Abstract
In response to the idea that static representation might “capture” or “halt” the eventfulness of life, Lovejoy invites the reader to consider move-ability in the doings of images and texts. Here reductive re-presentation is refused calling on our sense-abilities to see—that is perceive things in their real contexts. A focus on context is a focus on what happens rather than on a thing that is in the world. Loitering with intent in a series of vignettes she invites you to “vade mecum … go with me” as she revisits past projects in an attempt to re-present experiential complexities of practice through narrative c/artographies.
