Essays over het werk van de Britse kunstenaar Victor Burgin. Bevat tevens een interview met de kunstenaar. - Victor Burgin first came to prominence as one of the originators of Conceptual Art through his contributions to such seminal exhibitions as When Attitudes Become Form (1969) and Information (1970). In formal terms his gallery works and theoretical writings focus on image-text relations, advancing an understanding of "image" in which neither optical nor verbal predominates. In terms of content he is most concerned with the affective agency of space and place, and the work of the unconscious in the formation of beliefs and values. Initially working with still photography Burgin has for the past twenty years explored the ground between "still" and "moving" images. The writers of the four essays in this book use Burgin's recent projection works as "objects to think with" in their own work
