Intro
Irena Haiduk’s work is invested in the oral image. She uses the oral image to produce a singular, variable, imaginative space that no one can own but everyone can use. Haiduk’s exhibitions coalesce aesthetic and economic inquiry to function as a camera in the original, physical sense of the word, a chamber, a studio (not a lens-based apparatus). In this space, images are not taken, shot, or captured, they accumulate slowly, over time. At Camera Austria, Haiduk presents her Memory Implants (2019–ongoing) series, a prequel to her current feature film Nula (2025), where she seeks ways to integrate the tropes of the oral image into the medium of film. “Camera Viva” presents the possibilities of this image in a lecture performance.
