Video Theory I 1992

Overview

The first in a four-part video art series produced by duo Christiane Dellbrügge and Ralf de Moll in the early-'90s, this piece begins the series' themes of incorporating art theory into video art, particularly through the juxtaposition of words and images. Here, abstracted hands are superimposed over a constantly spinning black-and-white, digitally produced background, signing the "text" of the piece while a distorted voice accompanies it.
