Joseph Beuys :: Filz-TV / Felt TV, 1970
/ via
the-night-picture-collector
The “Filz-TV” / “Felt TV” project is one of the first short artist films
ever broadcast on German television as part of the forty-two minute
show entitled “Fernsehgalerie Gerry Schum Fernsehausstellung” /
“Television Gallery Gerry Schum Television Exhibition”.
In the 11-minute film, Beuys explored metaphors of communication and
energy through the medium of television. As the TV broadcast a talk
show, Beuys blocked the image with a felt pad, then punched himself in
the face while wearing the gloves, as if the information from the
television were assaulting him and meeting with resistance. He carved
the sausage into a sword-like shape and moved it over the felt like a
stethoscope, then dabbed it on the walls of the room. He ended by
pushing the television against the wall, hanging a large felt pad on the
wall, and leaving the room.
