VIDEO INSTALLATION
THE
VIDEO FAMILY
STUDIO
ELKE PANTEN, COLOGNE, GERMANY
MAY 1976
The
installation is set up in an empty apartment located in a
residential neighborhood of Cologne. The five members of the
family in question are five video monitors located in various
rooms throughout the flat. The perfect “cathodic”
bliss of their blank minds is exemplified by the blurry images
visible on their screens. In the center of the living room
a real television is tuned in non-stop to the programming
of the ARD network. The visitors are made up of curious members
of the general public, who read about the project in ads published
in the real estate/for rent sections of local newspapers,
and people who received official invitations to the opening.
