Cumming the Unrelenting

[May 6, 2020]

They say that he has an unrelenting eye and a creative fervour, that he is inspired by the desire to “destabilize and draw unremittingly from the margins of society, the watchable, and his own works.” He is Donigan Cumming, image artist, celebrated with a digital box setcontaining his twenty-six videos, as well as written and sound documents. The publication by Vidéographe of Body-to-Body: The Works of Donigan Cummingis marked by a double event: an online interview with Cumming (Thursday, May 7, at 7:00 p.m.), followed by the launch of The Unrelenting Eye, a sixty-minute video program broadcast free of charge until July. In these six works, we can see strategies that “undermine the documentary from within,” such as assumed directing and allusion to cinematographic techniques.
