Abstract
A mode of audio-visual production called the “video essay” proliferated in the past decade. Noted by a video practice that is artistic, theoretical, and political, the video essay marks a distinct aesthetic strategy, one that I argue is premised on a mode of relationality. According to Ursula Biemann (2003), the video essay as a genre, situates itself between documentary film and video art. Considered too experimental, self-reflexive and subjective for documentary, the video essay stands out within the spectrum of video art as socially involved and political.
