Video Theory 3(Video Theorie 3)

The third in a four-part video art series produced by duo Christiane Dellbrügge and Ralf de Moll in the early-'90s, this piece continues the series' themes of incorporating art theory into video art, particularly through the juxtaposition of words and images. Here, the duo record a performance by a singer dealing in the profound social and cultural effects that television has had on modern human life. Images of the musician - over-saturated and recorded at a lower frame rate but duped at normal speed - are only apparent when he is singing. Otherwise, the screen is black, with only the sound of his guitar.
