Home Movies
Vito Acconci 
1973, 32:19 min, b&w, sound

In this powerful "meta-document," Acconci sits in the dark with his back to a screen, onto which are projected slides of his past works, in chronological order from 1969. Autobiographical within the context of his art-making, Home Movies reveals the psychological circuit that propels much of Acconci's work, as he explores the self through a dialogue between the artist and an absent other.

I-Be Area
Ryan Trecartin
2007, 108 min, color, sound

Holland Cotter, writing in The New York Times, describes Trecartin's "sensationally anarchic" new video I-Be Area, in which the artist uses what Cotter terms "very basic digital tools to create a highly personal narrative art, almost a kind of folk art." He writes, "Like the work of John Waters and Jack Smith, his art is about just saying no to life as we think we have seen it and saying yes to zanier, virtual-utopian possibilities."

Identity

If I Just Turn and Run
Ellen Cantor
1998, 22:39 min, color, sound

Discovered after Cantor’s death in 2013, If I Just Turn and Run is an anomaly in Cantor’s body of work. Departing from her metatextual and appropriation-based practice, the video retains the bold, diaristic quality of her work, blurring boundaries between fiction and life.
