Practisse

Practisse is an innovative exploration of performance art directed by an unknown filmmaker. The film features James Joyce, who is known for his literary contributions, lending his voice to the project through a recording of him reading his own work.

The piece presents Donegan's artistic performance, which involves a clear cellophane hood and a pane of glass. As she creates her "face paintings," the performance is intercut with her painting over her own image on a video monitor. This interplay complicates the relationship between the live performance and the technological documentation of the art.

This film stands out for its experimental approach to art and technology, making it an interesting item for collectors interested in avant-garde cinema and performance art.
