prompt: Anna Plesset & Kathryn Brackney

By Kathryn Brackney & Anna Plesset

The fourth issue of prompt: features a collaboration between historian Kathryn Brackney and artist Anna Plesset that takes the form of research materials in progress, compiled as a folder of photographs, texts, and reference materials. Expanding from a 16-mm film shot by Plesset’s grandfather, Lieutenant-Colonel Marvin Plesset, when he was deployed to Europe in 1944, this volume includes photo documentation of a room-scale trompe l’oeil painting installation by Plesset, an analytic written response by Brackney, and comparative documents that shed light on the entanglement of history and memory with the present.
