Summary:

"Highly influential both as an artist and as a theorist of the image, Victor Burgin first came to prominence in the late 1960s as one of the originators of Conceptual Art. Initially working mainly in photography he turned to digital video when the technology became available in the early 1990s. In this book, the first in which he turns his critical attention upon his own artistic production, Burgin gives an account of the beginnings, evolution, ideology and specificity of a practice that over the past forty years has produced a body of work of exceptional aesthetic and intellectual integrity."--Jacket.
