Poor Man's Expression

Poor Man's Expression examines the relationship between film, video,technology and art, with a particular focus on the reciprocal influencesbetween conceptual art and experimental film. Works, lectures, andperformances by international artists - created for the exhibition of thesame title in Berlin in 2006, and expanded for the publication - areset alongside historical experimental films. This profound book askswhether the infiltration of experimental film into the realm of 1980s and90s media art is analogous to general social and media trends broughtabout by the fragmentation caused by consumer society. Featuredartists include Stephanie Taylor, Sebestyen Kodolanyi, SebastianLutgert, Henrik Olesen, Mathias Poledna, Sean Snyder, Daria Martin,Kirsten Pieroth, Martin Ebner, Florian Zeyfang.
