Inspired by the famous LP "Extended Voice," in 1979 in the US I did a video-monitor "performance," although I am primarily a painter, mimicking all the faces in a book on the history of silent film. I never finished the video. This year, 2008, 29 years later in Switzerland, I finished it with hand-painted titles in cartoon fashion, an appearance by my "older" self and a soundtrack by Davyd Johnson, Roar Schaad and me, also from 1979 and finished in 2008.
I really enjoy the comic-like intro. The video is fun too, with your change through time from young and thinner, long-haired, to not-so-young, not-so-thin, shorter hair, from conceptual art to popular based.
This is fucking genius on so many levels. I love that it’s autobiographical, in comic form. Right up my alley.
It’s multi-media!
It gives us a bit of a view behind the Brandl curtain.
Congrats on getting two offers for the Superman/Lennon painting. I don’t think I could hang on to a potential sale. Good to stick to your inspirational guns. I can’t wait to see what you make for those commissions.
