Paris a la Carte

1978, 28:15 min, color, sound

Paris a la carte is an idiosyncratic "travelogue" of Paris that merges cultural myth, reality and media clichés. The fascination that the city exerts on the American imagination is countered with the indelible, often incongruous influence of American pop culture on the Parisian landscape. Employing their hallmark rapid editing and use of visual association, the artists cut through the conventional tourist's view of Paris landmarks to capture a peculiar hybrid of French high and American pop cultures.
