| MONTY PYTHON Video installation, 2004 In the video installation Monty Python, a TV set and a VCR are removed from their plastic casing, though they are still functioning. The viewer is able to hear the sound of the popular TV comedy series Monty Python's Flying Circus, which is being played from the video tape in the VCR. But the TV screen cannot be seen because it is turned toward the floor. The installation offers a different perspective on the TV set, an absurd rendering of the notion of "watching television." The viewer experiences the actual open body of the machine, the internal parts that enable the television's basic function of transmitting and reproducing on the screen information as pictures and sound. Technical requirements: TV set, VCR |
