Titles with or about Vito Acconci
Three Adaptation Studies
1970, 8:05 min, b&w, silent, Super 8mm film on video
In these early film exercises, Acconci exhibits an almost childlike vulnerability that is at once comic and oddly affecting. In Blindfold Catching, a blindfolded Acconci reacts, flinching and lunging, as rubber balls are repeatedly thrown at him from off-screen. In Soap & Eyes, he tries to keep his eyes open after dousing his face with soapsuds, resulting in a tragicomic clown face. In Hand and Mouth, he repeatedly forces his fist into his mouth until he gags.
This is a video transfer of a work initially shot on film. This is best shown as a projection, to reflect the original medium.
