D-Passage : The Digital Way

D-Passage is a unique book by the world-renowned filmmaker, artist, and critical theorist Trinh T.

Minh-ha. Taking as grounding forces her feature film Night Passage and installation L'Autre marche (The Other Walk), both co-created with Jean-Paul Bourdier, she discusses the impact of new technology on cinema culture and explores its effects on creative practice.

Less a medium than a "way," the digital is here featured in its mobile, transformative passages.

Trinh's reflections shed light on several of her major themes: temporality; transitions; transcultural encounters; ways of seeing and knowing; and the implications of the media used, the artistic practices engaged in, and the representations created.

In D-Passage, form and structure, rhythm and movement, and language and imagery are inseparable.

The book integrates essays, artistic statements, in-depth conversations, the script of Night Passage, movie stills, photos, and sketches.
