Deconstructed
Performance
Video made inspired by Michel Foucault's writings, particularly this quotation:
"The questioning of the document. Of course, it is obvious enough that ever since a discipline such as history has existed, documents have been used, questioned, and have given rise to questions […] scholars have asked not only what these documents meant, but also whether they were telling the truth, and by what right they could claim to be doing so, whether they were sincere or deliberately misleading, well informed or ignorant, authentic or tampered with.” – Michel Foucault
The book being deconstructed is a 1960s World Book Encyclopedia.
Music by Serge Gainsbourg from Histoire De Melody Nelson album.
