Description

Callas writes: "This videotape is an electronic rendering of a form of proto-televisual iconomania: the creation of haphazardly sourced private pictoral scrap books or 'bilderbucher.'" Continuing in his frenetic appropriation and re-casting of historical icons and symbols, Callas references Hans Christian Andersen and other well-known texts, transforming history and its foundations into a combustible amalgam.
