Body Music II

Charlemagne Palestine
1973-74, 8:09 min, b&w, sound

Description

Produced by Palestine at Art/Tapes/22 in Florence, Italy, this work is a seminal performance-based exercise. Body Music II Palestine wanders through the labyrinthine hallways of a villa, recording with a hand-held camera. Moving faster and chanting into the reverberating space as though trying to escape, he creates a frenetic visual translation of his physical movements and energy.

Produced by Art/Tapes/22.
