Tiivistelmä
In the written part of my thesis I explore the concepts of identity and culture, in order to understand how contemporary artists define cultural identity and represent it in their self-portraits. I also present my personal video self-portrait which touches the topics of transcultural and multicultural identity in a world of hybridity.
I present my journey of self-exploration and reflect it in my film ‘Moving ON’. I explain the process behind the production of my video self-portrait, the technical aspects and the artists: Zhang Huan, Tracy Emin and Tehching Hsieh that had an influence on it in the context of contemporary art. I also use documentary “Notebook on Cities and Clothes” (1989) by Wim Wenders as well as Tarkovsky´s semi-autobiographical film “Mirror” (1975) as inspirations for my thesis film.
