1.Rosalind Krauss, art critic, termed early video works as “narcissistic” performance. How does works by Berly Korot, like First Four Monitors of Dachan, fit into the idea of “narcissistic performace” in realtion to video art?
“Krauss describes this narcissism as a kind of psychological strategy for examining the conditions and traditions of the relationships between the process of image-making and the viewer’s perception of it.”(99)
2.Robert Pinaus- Witten said that “video art was ‘deficient precisely because it was linked to and perpetuated the outmoded clichés of Modernist Pictorialism.”’ (106)
What does he mean by “perpetuated the outmoded clichés of Modernist Pictorialism?” What are the clichés? Is he using the term modernist pictorialism to refer to a minimalist approach to a modern media?
