Phenomenological and embodied approaches to cinema propose parallels between the perceptive and expressive agencies of camera and audience, as exemplified by the work of Sobchack and Laura U Marks. However, this paradigm lacks conceptual tools for exploring the manifest visual and aural in cinematic representation.

This practice-based PhD explores the concept of ‘assemblage’ for the analysis of artists’ cinema, informed by Deleuze and Actor Network theory and operationalized in a moving image work exploring material aspects of spatialisation in a US city. This presentation will report on the practice based hinterland of this approach using short moving image extracts; progress in applying it to the object of investigation with short moving image extracts; and explore elements of the theoretical approach.
