Vito Acconci


I looked up a video for Acconci, and was pleasantly surprised. I found it very uncomfortable to watch but also thought that it was constructed conceptually well. I loved that he relied on speech rather than interesting images and fast editing.
This makes me think that I can maybe construct a soundtrack that is purely speech and play it in a room with no visual and from all corners. I think this would be very effective.
