Box Concert
1974, 05:00 minutes, B&W, English
TAPECODE 061.00
Suzy Lake lifts a long, thin, rectangular box from its position along the ground to a position on top of the table in a simple movement which marks the horizontal and vertical planes of the monitor as well as establishing perspective and depth of field within the two-dimensional surface. The action, recorded in her studio, is one of translating the concepts of minimalist music into an equivalent visual language. The one-minute action is edited to repeat over a period of five minutes and the five-minute tape in turn was originally played in a continuous loop.
