Notes on an Eternal Return is an exhibition of photo-based self-portraits – or more specifically, ‘performative self-images’ – acting in support of a Master of Arts thesis paper of the same title. In this exhibition, ‘photograph’ and ‘self-portrait’ become loosely defined through the performance-based process of photographic self-representation. My image is recorded and then layered, fragmented, distorted and reassembled in order to disrupt traditional ways of looking and interpreting representations of the female body. By playing along the spectrum of visibility and invisibility, presence and absence, coherence and incoherence, singular and multiple, I present myself as a spectral subject, a collection of traces, acting in constant resistance of containment through the reiteration of my self.
Amy Meleca is a Toronto-based artist and researcher, currently in her second year in the Interdisciplinary Master’s of Art, Media, and Design program at OCAD University. Amy completed her BFA in Print Media with a minor in Psychology at York University in 2014. Her research interests include representations of the body in Surrealist art and thought, the archive, performance art, writing artists/artists writing, artist books, and multiples.
