The Winged Victory of Samothrace, The Louvre, Paris, France, 19 May 1994

From the first day I ever owned and used a video camcorder in 1989, I spontaneously started making Actuality Films – without having the slightest inkling of that long-forgotten genre. It just felt like a completely natural way of looking at, and recording the world.
I have written extensively about this and will link to it in due course.

The title is obviously an ironic jab at everything hip and “consumer-cultury”.

On the same day, I also recorded footage for a much more overtly, confrontational video – essentially about the same ideas, but very different – called – A.R.T.

Postscript

If you enjoy the contemplative nature of this video, I can recommend:
