Maria Walsh is Reader in Artists’ Moving Image at Chelsea College of Arts, University of the Arts London, UK. Her research on artists’ moving image and critical theory has been published in the peer-reviewed journals Rhizomes, Angelaki, Screen, Refractory, film-philosophy, NECSUS and MIRAJ.
Maria Walsh's book marks a decisive step forward in the study of art as a means of addressing trauma. Through sustained analyses of moving image works, she advances a compelling understanding of their power to relieve psychological damage without airbrushing the social and economic forces underlying it. * Marcus Verhagen, Senior Lecturer in Contemporary Art, Sotheby's Institute of Art, UK *
