Selected Works: Reel 2

William Wegman

Collection: Early Video Art, Single Titles

Tags: Animals, Body, Consumer culture, Humor, Performance

Re-mastered in 2005, Reel 2 features a series of demonstrations and durational tests: how to protect oneself from germs; how to turn a roll call into a role play; and an excruciating exercise in desire, as Man Ray attempts to get his just rewards. While entertaining, these humorous pieces also parody television culture and work to highlight issues of consumerism.
