»tribunal«, video, VHS C, 7 min.

wood stamp, printed idoms »witch«, matches, 1993


a performance without audience. stamp printings with idiom WITCH were taken to raise a funeral pile burning the stamp itself. nice attempt to transfer the video arts concept of a closed circuit to a different epistème, in term of semiotics. the signified flashes back to the signifier. an effect that is recently known as cannibalisation effect.

the work is now shown in media installations by request. unusual proposals welcome.

the concept was recently reinvented for a tito-performance in zaal 100 amsterdam as arequiem for the transindustrial network that will be terminated for hamburg and amsterdam this fall.
