Mara Mckevitt – 'MAKING OF'
This is the first publication by the artist Mara Mckevitt, released on the occasion of her exhibition 'Val' at Clementin Seedorf, Cologne.
In her writings Mckevitt renders a series of real and fictional events into a filmic story that outline the production of her film 'Val'. We are lead through a sequence of encounters with friends, bosses, tricks, lovers, strangers and co-conspirators who help her end this performance (through making the film). The scenes oscillate from the clinical to the erotic, describing webs of relationships that complicate the flimsy demarcations between sex, labor and power through the lens of artistic production. While employing the formal conditions of a legal document, Mckevitt blends the writing styles of bureaucratic scripts and film scripts, love stories and obituaries, consumer reports and job descriptions. The language of futurity and documentation are spliced together in such a way that feels reminiscent of a found footage video. 'Making of' is the centerpiece of a forthcoming collection of stories as well as the genesis of Mckevitt's next film.
