Gary Hill.
A retrospective in three laserdisc volumes, Gary Hill: spinning the spur of the moment chronicles the work of one of contemporary art's great poetic visionaries. Each volume presents key selections from Hill's seminal explorations of the interpretive space between language and image. This definitive survey from over a decade of critically acclaimed video art charts the transformation of the artist's scintillating and formally spectacular work: volume 1 illuminates the conjunction of video and audio elements into Hill's singular aesthetic vocabulary; volumes 2 and 3 focus on the integration of language and image in thoroughly unique investigations of linguistics and consciousness.
