All in My Background2006

After thirty-two years, forgotten film footage resurfaces to provide a unique look at the past from a contemporary point of view. The film was shot by the filmmaker in 1974 and the subject is a sculpture installation by Florida artist Jim  Roche at the Whitney Museum of Art in New York City. Jump to January 2006 and Roche sees the footage for the first time. His reaction informs the viewer about the installation and what it all means, then and now. The video includes the artist’s original 1973 audio proposal to the Whitney Museum curator who chose to proceed with this extraordinary exhibition.
