I Say I Am: Women's Performance Video from the 1970s
Video Data Bank, 2012, p. not numbered
Troy's text surveys the video performances (culled from the Video Data Bank) of eleven women artists made between 1972 and 1980.
"Moving through an array of visual and performative strategies, these video artworks form a lingering meditation on how bodies are made to appear and signify. They complicate the personal and the political, and assert this intersection as a negotiation that remains fundamental to the formation of a subject in social space."
