Special edition on Barbara Hammer:
Audacious Appropriations: Barbara Hammer's
First Half-Century, by Greg Youmans
The scope, inventiveness and audacity of Barbara Hammer's career compel us to expand the framework from found footage to broader appropriation. Her use of audiovisual archival material (what is traditionally called found footage from archives) came after and alongside more fundamental uses of various cinematic means of production, from cameras and optical printing to a range of digital hardware and software, as well as the generic codes and practices of pornography and documentary. And these actions have always been linked to her uses of physical space. In all her films and beyond, Hammer wrests space (and time) away from hetero-patriarchal coding and control.
