Joseph Beuys ::
from the “Filz-TV” / “Felt TV” project,

11:25’, b/w, sound,

1970

Beuys explained this cryptic work in terms of opposites. An actor sits
opposite the television. Its screen is doubled with a felt “anti-image”
that obstructs information. Finally, a second felt pad stands in for
artists. In the end, the television is abandoned: a transmitter without a
receiver. “The observer himself is very much as important as what comes
out of the box,” Beuys stated.
