[Frameworks] Independent research- looking for recommendations

[Kornelia Boczkowska]

There are numerous avant-garde and experimental films concerned with 
literal representations of the body and what you decide to incorporate 
in your project depends on your particular methodological approach to 
the study.

You can start with consulting Ara Osterweil’s Flesh Cinema (2014), which 
examines the corporeal turn in the 1960s American avant-garde film - the 
notion of flesh cinema is mostly applied here to sexually explicit work 
of Stan Brakhage, Yoko Ono, Barbara Rubin, Carolee Schneemann, Paul 
Sharits or Andy Warhol. Another good reference is R. Bruce Elder’s A 
Body ofVision (1997), which discusses the work of such filmmakers as 
Bruce Conner, Stan Brakhage, Andrew Noren, Carolee Schneemann, James 
Broughton, etc.

Besides, check out artists traditionally associated with the underground 
Cinema of Transgression, e.g. Nick Zedd, David Wojnarowicz, Richard 
Kern, Tessa Hughes-Freeland, Casandra Stark, Beth B., etc.

Some other filmmakers that reflect on the body or bodily 
transformations/spectacles include MM Serra, Michael Wallin, Barbara 
Hammer, Jack Smith, Barbara Rubin (Christmas on Earth), George Kuchar 
(Hold Me While I’m Naked), Peggy Ahwesh and many others...

Good luck!
