11/22/88 (for Kimono)
1988, 4:09 min, color, stereo sound

Video Image for 11/22/88 (for Kimono)

11/22/88 is a diptych that utilizes two then state-of-the-art pieces of video equipment, a Hi-8 video camcorder and a consumer-grade video synthesizer. The improvisational work moves from a domestic interior, shot through the lattice of a cane side chair and drained of color, to an arboreal and sensuous exterior domain. Yet beyond the physical realm is one pulsing with chromatic luminosity, an ulterior dimension of excess. Here is a world seething with life. The third in an impromptu series of video birthday gifts, given as a VHS copy of the original U-matic tape. Music by the Sugarcubes, Christmas Day. PLAY LOUD.
