Abstract
This chapter considers multiple bodies of work by the author, Hanna Rose Shell, each organized around a material process with relevance to STS (Science and Technology Studies). Two key concepts are developed in the process of analyzing how these bodies of multimodal work culminated in monographs Hide and Seek: Camouflage, Photography and the Media of Reconnaissance and Shoddy: From Devil’s Dust to the Renaissance of Rags, films Secondhand (Pepe), and Locomotion in Water, as well as multiple performance art and installation projects. Drawing on the writings of the film theorist Sigfried Kracauer, and the jurist Oliver Wendell Holmes Jr., as well as contemporary work in new materialism and film theory, concepts of creative inhabitation and curatorial analytic are introduced. Keywords Chronophotography; Camouflage; Textile reuse; new materialism; critical media studies; multimodal scholarship; Etienne-Jules Marey; Experimental Film; Siegfried Kracauer; Oliver Wendell Holmes; Stanley Cavell
