Description
I said I love. That is the promise: the TVideo politics of Jean-Luc Godard examines Godard’s underseen and underappreciated video and television work, from his first t.v. program Le Gai Savoir in 1968 to 1999, the year the Swiss Institute in New York staged the exhibition and lecture series that occasioned this book. Featuring essays by film and video art scholars, this out of print book includes in-depth criticism on the filmmaker’s most groundbreaking video work, including the 12 episode Six fois deux: Sur et sous la communication, Numéro Deux, France/tour/détour/deux/enfants, Scénario du film Passion as well as JLG/JLG: Self Portrait in December. It is illustrated throughout with 1-color stills from the video programs and in situ images of the exhibition. No self-respecting Godard fan or cineaste should live without it.
