But the following videos have interesting concepts:
Candice Breitz, Him and Her
In this piece she uses clips from different movies with the same actor and actress to create a conversation relating to relationships and the roles of each of the sexes. It uses multiple screens to portray this idea.
Vito Acconci, Claim
Claim Excerpts is a highly confrontational work, an exercise in self-induced, heightened behavioral states, and an aggressive psychological exploration of the artist/viewer relationship.
Chris Cunningham, Monkey Drummer
The short video installation is a humorous, kinetic study of a mechanical being with nine appendages -- six arms, two legs, and one drumstick penis -- all seemingly controlled by the head of a monkey, though it's unclear what's in control. Each flesh-and-blood body part, jutting from a black steel appendage. The overall effect is somewhat off-putting. Each body part acts authentically human, while being controlled so mechanically.
