«Video 50»

»Video 50« is an extraordinary video sketchbook, a highly original, visually dramatic and frequently humorous collection of one hundred abbreviated «episodes» produced for television. Unfolding as a series of thirty-second vignettes, this enigmatic essay in style is characterized by a deadpan theatricality, symbolist imagery, surrealist juxtapositions and repetition of visual key motifs. Fusing the surprising visual logic and rhythms with unexpected temporal manipulations, Wilson creates a work of startling wit and poetry.
