Originaltittel: Lives and videotapes:
. - Artists Marianne Heske, Terje Munthe, Morten Børresen, Kjell Bjørgeengen, Inghild Karlsen and Jeremy Welsh talks about their practice as artists and their relation to video art. How, why, and under what circumstances did many of the early video artworks made in Norway come about - and what makes them important for posterity. How did these artists perceive video as a medium? What were their points of reference? What conceptions of art were they challenging, and how was the medium of video involved in influencing the general perception of art? The book is written by Marit Paasche, head of research at Videokunstarkivet, and it contains six in-depth interviews with artists who contributed in their own right to the establishing of video as an art form in Norway, illustrated by unique imagery. The preface is written by former assistant director at LUX, Mike Sperlinger.
