RESTANY
DINES AT LA COUPOLE
BRASSERIE
LA COUPOLE, PARIS
22 OCTOBRE 1974
The
project takes place in two phases. In the first, critic Pierre
Restany eats a simple lunch in the kitchen of the artist’s
modest suburban Paris apartment. The video of this meal is
later played at the famous Parisian brasserie La Coupole,
on a television monitor “seated” at a table as
if it were a normal guest, while the real Restany, wearing
the same clothes as his video alter ego, dines at the adjacent
table, studiously replicating his movements in the videotaped
meal.
