In The Hitchcock Trilogy, Tajiri uses Bernard Hermann's evocative scores for Hitchcock's films to create a compelling series of deconstructive "meta-narratives." Collapsing these emblematic scores with her own texts, she creates a layered "hall of mirrors" of stories within stories, using the...
The Hollow Coin explores roles of authority in public space and the intersection of personal and historical narratives. The video combines documentary footage of New York City’s rapidly disappearing network of payphones with audio of a covertly recorded telephone exchange between an actor and an unknowing bystander.
In this music video, which operates as a meditation on contemporary Chinese history, Yau Ching combines found images and text to negotiate between idealism and propaganda and the hopes and disillusionment that they bring.

Writes Antin: "Applying hair to her face, the artist moves through a variety of bearded faces seeking the identity most appropriate to her facial structure and satisfying to her aspirations." Antin transforms herself into a man and adopts one of her recurring performance personae, "The King."
The artist's Ballerina Self, now in the city, has "made it!" Dressed in a tutu, Antin regales an utterly silent gallery audience with her strategy for conquering New York, meeting George Ballanchine in Sardi's and becoming prima ballerina of the company. The climax of the routine is a dramatization (with Antin taking all of the parts) of the ballet she imagines, with sets by Picasso, music by Stravinsky and a scratchy violin as accompaniment.
Constance DeJong's writing is closely connected to performance. Here DeJong reads The Lucy Amarillo Stories, while a musician performs a Philip Glass composition on the harmonica. The two performers interact attentively, the musician emphasizing passages in DeJong's text with the intensity of Glass's score. The reading develops as an atmospheric telling of the story of a young woman who leads a lonely life in New York, truly living only when she dreams.
The Making of Amarillo Ramp is Nancy Holt's final film. The piece documents Holt, Richard Serra and Tony Shafrazi as they complete Robert Smithson's unfinished earthwork, Amarillo Ramp, in the months after his death in 1973. The 1973 still photography and video footage, which documents their completion of Amarillo Ramp according to Smithson's specifications, was edited by Holt in 2013.
In the first part of this work, Arcangel silently documents the real-time construction of his video game cartridge piece, Super Mario Clouds, in which he hacked a "Mario Brothers" cartridge, erasing everything but the clouds. While The Making of Super Mario Clouds poses as an instructional video, willfully amateur camerawork and the omission of any soundtrack indicate the artist's intentions: to give viewers, in his words, "a feel for the process, in its gloriously boring true detail." The second part is a 9-minute video re-scan of the clouds.
