Author: Nance, TerenceTracing his work in film, video, television, sound and performance from 2012 to 2022, this is the first publication on the genre-defying practice of American filmmaker Terence Nance. Discarding the conventions of cinema, Nance opts for narrative forms that stretch the bounds of temporality and embrace Black spiritual and ancestral practices; he regards his work as part of an ongoing lineage of artists who labour to make visible these influences. Swarm highlights the interdisciplinary nature of Nance’s practice by focusing on his immersive environments—both old and new—many of which have been reconstructed from earlier films. It also pays tribute to the community Nance cultivated in the heady days of early to mid 2000s Brooklyn. The role of community figures centrally in Nance’s work, as evinced through his frequent collaborations with friends and family. ISBN 9780884541578.
