“Traces That Resemble Us takes its title from a phrase of Jean-Luc Godard. In one of a series of lectures giv en at Concordia University in 1978\, the auteur claimed that\, in cinema\, the traces of former images are found in each that follow it. Every image i s a history of all other cinematic images. He holds that we — its viewers a nd makers — are also traces in those images\, as our human history is also threaded into that most significant cultural and social phenomenon of the l ast century: cinema. And the artists in Traces\, with their selected films and artworks\, evince how these practices also are projected onto it.” - Aa ron Peck\, excerpted from his essay “Traces That Resemble Us” (2015)\, avai lable to read in full in the exhibition booklet.
