Biography and Bibliography appended at the end. Printed on pristine-white, thick coated stock paper in Amsterdam, The Netherlands to the highest standards. Without DJ, as issued. Presents Julika Rudelius' "Looking At The Other And Five Video Works". Six of the best and most representative video art by the Dutch artist: "Looking At The Other", "Train 20", "The Highest Point", "Tagged", Your Blood Is Red As Mine", and "Economic Primacy". The complete text of each video is beautifully and felicitously translated into English, and rightly so, because the spoken word is as important - and in some cases, more important - as the visual elements. Julika Rudelius' videos are a cross between a vignette and a short story: They all have a riveting plot, like any mainstream film. But they are not films in the sense that their aim is not to provide entertainment or escape. They are works of art whose aim is the exact opposite: To confront contemporary reality and through each video's concept, realization, and presentation, to offer an aesthetic experience. Rudelius' theme is same-ness, not the bland kind, but rather recognizing Oneself in The Other. We have become one Global Village without even trying, but Marshall McLuhan surely did not anticipate the reductive ways in which this "globalization" has taken place. Rudelius' singular achievement is to mirror contemporary reality partly by using speech much more than someone like say, Matthew Barney (whose wordless videos remind one of silent films), thereby underscoring the similarity between videos of seemingly very different people: "Tagging" is about handsome and fashion-conscious Morrocan teenagers adjusting to Western life by spending all their money on brand-name tags while "Economic Primacy" is about white, wealthy executives and businessmen who spend a lot of time trying to look exactly like the next respectable businessman. "Looking At The Other" is about four men on a train talking about the women they are having sex with. It's sexist braggadocio, but with a strong undercurrent of homoeroticism: The guys are talking dirty to arouse each other. An absolute "must-have" title for Julika Rudelius collectors. This title is a contemporary classic. This is one of few copies of the First Edition/First Printing still available online and is in especially fine condition: Clean, crisp, and bright. A scarce copy thus. One of the most brilliant video artists of our time. A fine copy. (SEE ALSO MATTHEW BARNEY TITLES IN OUR CATALOG) ISBN 9078088052. no.…
