Scope and content
"The question I'm asked most often (by people who haven't seen the work) is, 'What is it about?' -a question I am never able to answer. The series has no central theme and is, I hope, quite heterogeneous. As a whole, though, I can say it is monologue-based, held together by the sound of my voice. Perhaps the prototypical video would have two parts. First, a spoken monologue over a loop of appropriated footage, which promises to reveal something, followed by a 'something' which isn't quite what was promised, but somehow obtusely, perhaps humorously, related. The whole series is five hours long and meant to be approached like a collection of prose poems or very short stories: open it up anywhere and begin reading, skip what doesn't catch your attention, re-read whatever does. So watching it with a remote control is a good idea". (Steve Reinke)
