Catalogue notes originally published in French under the title "Les Bandes video de Tony Oursler." The author speaks to the controversy and appeal of Oursler's surreal videotapes, which evince pop culture satire, media critique, sexual deviancy, childish play, and humorous symbolism. In the course of describing several Oursler videos, the author charts the developments of the artist's stylized methods, pop-mythological subjects, dense allusions, and reworked Romanticism. The apocalyptic videotape Grand Mal is described as Oursler's "masterwork to date."
