| book description |

Hollis Frampton was an American filmmaker, photographer, and theorist who bridged the experimental film and contemporary art worlds in the 1960s and 1970s. Best known for avant-garde films including Zorns Lemma (1970) and (nostalgia) (1971), Frampton spent his later years working on the unfinished epic Magellan, a monumental cycle that used the metaphor of Ferdinand Magellanâ€™s circumnavigation of the world to rethink the natures and meanings of history, modernity, and cinema. Framptonâ€™s career was cut short by cancer at age 48, with his vast ambitions for the project left incomplete. This book is a groundbreaking and comprehensive account of this remarkable figureâ€™s work in its totality, from Framptonâ€™s earliest films through Magellan. Michael Zryd explores the connections linking Framptonâ€™s art and thought to other media forms, histories, and cultural frameworks. He foregrounds Framptonâ€™s notion of the â€œinfinite cinema,â€ which redefined the parameters of the medium to encompass all forms of moving image and sound media across the past and future of cinematic possibility. Zryd analyzes Framptonâ€™s ambivalent relationship with modernism and the Enlightenment, showing how the artist navigated between attraction to radical artistic investigation and awareness of this traditionâ€™s implication in colonialism and other oppressive power structures. Shedding new light on Framptonâ€™s project of exploring and critiquing how cinema attempts to capture and understand the world, this book also considers his significance for contemporary art.
