I think a huge difference between such work then and such work now is
that back then these 'substantial reconfigurations of film' were
reflections on the whole of the moving image industry, in which film
(celluloid) was still the dominant medium.
Using celluloid (or the absence of it) for such performances now will
perhaps aquire a new, historical dimension of meaning, but it will have
certainly lost the edge of being a reflection on current moving image
tools..
what do you think ?
