Art for dummies
Animation - 3’30” - 16 mm / vidéo - the EX-change Project - Grande Bretagne - 1998




Art for dummies is a stop motion animation. A system of dots, lines, numbers and labels unravels completely until this strange environment is punctured by the most amazing chicken in the world. The piece is as much about the reduction of history to an almost incomprehensible mass statistics, numbers and dates, as it is about the gap between the intentions of the artist and the effect of the art created.
