Titles with or about Tony Conrad
Redressing Down
"The sexual economy of television space. In the body of television, the audience is objectified as furnishings for architectural and social spaces of the protagonist. The commodification of television space inverts the sexual distance between the violated (consumed) body of the subject and the (nonpresent) viewer. Redressing Down uses the distance between the body and architectural/environmental space as a metaphor for the relationship between maker and viewer. It invokes the body in relation to personal living space, in that personal space constructs an essential site for mediated social activity. A series of vignettes, each of which grips the viewer in a setting of psychic expectancy, constructs a psychological and cultural 'virtual reality'—each viewer’s feedback into the tapes is his or her own theatrical construction of the tape’s events." —Tony Conrad
