Marktstr! 1A

Overview

The videos No.1, Lover Man, 90 Grad in Berlin, Party and No.5 (1977) were filmed from a monitor in 16mm in 1980 and fused together into a single film: "Marktstr! 1A." Although nothing was altered in the videos—nothing added or omitted—a new work emerged. The medial transformation of individual videos into a coherent 16mm film creates a qualitatively different art object in terms of temporal, material, and perspectival perception. (Uta Brandes 1984)
