Selected Crônicas
With as little vocal or physical direction as possible Jennie Guy uses video and sound recordings of a cast of willing readers set in a remote location to reimagine the crônicas of Brazilian writer Clarice Lispector, originally published in the Jornal do Brasil between 1967 and 1973.
This film was screened as part of I AM NOT A POET, a festival curated by David Berridge (VerySmallKitchen) and Mirja Koponen at the Totalkunst Gallery in Edinburgh on August 18th. This two-week festival explored connections of language, writing, and art practice, and ran from August 7th - 21st, 2011.
The video is currently online on VerySmallKitchen.

This video work is an offshoot of Souvenir, a collaboration between myself and Claire Behan which was previously shown in No Soul For Sale at the Tate Modern in 2010.
This video was screened in The Power of Local, a festival of art and culture in Ennistymon, August 4th - 7th 2011 as part of The Translocal Condition, a continuous screening programme of international artist films curated by Fiona Woods. The screening was running continuously in the Courthouse Gallery, Ennistymon over the course of the festival.
