Walking Around Is No Excuse for Bad Books — authoring spaces in documentary practice

ABSTRACT Walking Around Is No Excuse for Bad Books is the title of a practice-as-research documentary film that aims to contribute to the evolution of documentary language in both theory and practice. Greg's article incorporates images of film stills. In it, he seeks to contextualize, augment and reflect on his documentary film and the construction of authorial voice in documentary practice. Particular attention is given to the function and reliability of the documentary narrator, and the use of a non-realist, textured aesthetic in depicting psychological, emotional and spiritual spaces. By foregrounding the documentary author within the research and production processes, the article also seeks to encourage further exploration of the relationship between documentary spaces and their referents in the real world.
