Guadalcanal Requiem
Nam June Paik with Charlotte Moorman
1977, re-edited 1979, 28:33 min, color, sound
One of Paik's most overtly political and poignant statements, Guadalcanal Requiem is a performance/documentary collage that confronts history, time, cultural memory and mythology on the site of one of World War II's most devastating battles. Guadalcanal in the Solomon Islands is the iconic...
X-PRZ constructs a powerful collage of rap music, authorial text, and iconic visuals to confront the politics of race in the context of the American media. Writes Tony Cokes: "Slick and easily legible Pop surface: deploying the Black male media projection as central model, heroic figure, and...
"Hack Your Face was recorded live during a participatory performance/installation event at Eyebeam in Chelsea, NY. We set up our synthesizer, Sync Armonica with an additional module (called Circuit Taco): a signal amplifier connected to a ¼ inch cable. When participants touch the cable, their...

Hands Scraping reduces the frame to one sequential structure in which the action demonstrates a reductio ad absurdum, for more energy is expended at the end to do seemingly less work. The film involves a particular kind of choreography for hands: the hands of Serra and his collaborator Philip...
Hands Tied, rather than being a task, is the performance of a feat, which lasts as long as it takes Serra, whose hands are tied with rope inside the frame, to untie the knots. The film sets up a dialectic between hands and material as the hands move and strain in loosening the rope. As in Hand...
