待書寫的混沌： 初探印度當代影像藝術中的後殖民視野

Abstract

Over this past decade, India contemporary art for the first time is drawing a much attention among the international art world. To analyzes the cause, the capital across the global shifting from Europe and America to new markets could be the main explanation. Nevertheless, art during the boom all of a sudden became a paragon of globalised culture, especially when it is seized on by marketers for whom national identification is used as a convenient pre-existing brand. Among these, one exception seems the continual playing up in contemporary video and photography of the mechanisms and rhetoric of representation, so that thoughts about political content face continual interference from those about how politics is represented. Based on this precondition, this essay is going to investigate how a group of video and film artists emerging since '90 in India , working in media's nature and form, create manifold narrative and appear in major contemporary art scenes in significant statue.
