Artistic performances as a means of storytelling, often through video or photo-essays. Some use the term to refer to pre-modern art, such as the way a painting of a historic event helps to document what happened. We are more interested in how it is currently used with affective, activist intent.       Narratives can be evidence-based, highlighting the untold story of an event. Forensic Architecture’s work, for example, tells the story of an event only through their analysis of evidence, including their own re-enactments/spatial modelling of events. China Mieville’s work is more of a subjective, individual thesis, leaning on historic reflection, political discussion and sparce quotes from those he encounters on his travels. Others create fictional narratives, or composites of different stories as a means of generating the artists desired affect (see Janet Cardiff).
