THE POSSIBLE CHRONICLE (2014)
16mm film transferred to HD video, duration variable.

The Possible Chronicle is a series of short films that examine the making of The Possible at the Berkeley Art Museum in Berkeley, CA. Keeping time through observation, each of The Possible Chronicles presents a poetic eyewitness account gathered from within and without the museum. The Possible Chronicle pays attention to people, processes, and communication. A work in progress about works in progress, Possible Chronicles were released periodically over the course of the exhibition.

Info | Work

Sarah Rara’s multi-disciplinary practice— including video, sound, performance, and writing— explores the position of witness within fragile systems. Their work in sound and moving image considers gender, queerness, technology, disability, and illness, in connection with environmental research. Regarding the environment as relational and invested with notions of identity, Sarah Rara’s work considers the socio-political and personal dimensions of sensing technologies. They are a primary organizer of the ongoing project lucky dragons. Their work, solo and in collaboration, has been presented at such institutions as the Whitney Museum of American Art (as part of the 2008 Whitney Biennial), the Hammer Museum, the Centre Georges Pompidou, Walker Art Center in Minneapolis, London’s Institute for Contemporary Art, PS1 in New York, REDCAT and Human Resources in Los Angeles, MOCA Los Angeles, the 54th Venice Biennale, Documenta 14 in Athens, and the Smithsonian’s Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden, among others. Rara is a 2018 recipient of the LACMA Art + Technology fellowship and current artist-in-residence at Bangkok 1899, Bangkok, Thailand. Rara is Assistant Professor of Moving Image at Williams College.
