| Sumario: | [EN] Video, in its early years, could be seen as a moment of recognition of the individual himself through electronic media, a new virtual version of Lacan's mirror stage. This can be seen in the fact that much of early video art, especially in the American context, would experiment with the reflection of the artist on the monitor and closedccircuit video. Rosalind Krauss, with her text "Video: The Aesthetics of Narcissism", published in 19 6, has been one of the most influential art theorists who have reflected on the nature of video as a mirror. However, while I am interested in addressing the aesthetics of narcissism as seen by Krauss, in the here proposed analysis of video as a mirror, I will focus on a type of more introspective mirroring. With this purpose in mind, I will analyze some video works in which the mirror has not only an aesthetic or formal quality, but means the representation of the individual, the ideal ego, the process of reconstruction of memory, and the worst fears of the artist. I will focus this analysis on the work of three artists who have used video as an introspective mirror taking advantage of the specific qualities of the medium: (Day(Activity by Paul Wong, A(Very(Personal( Story and Birthday(Suit by Lisa Steele and Deformation by Martha Wilson. The work of these artists breaks with stereotypes and the idealized image of the subject, and shows the worst fears, defects or trauma of a subject who avoids any form of idealization, leading us to a content that is both, confessional and autobiographical. |
