IM ANFANG WAR DER BLICK - DVD+BUCH Bady Minck, L/IT/A 1989-2005, 45 min

The FILM: Bady Minck reevaluates mundane imagery into thousands of postcards that the artist uses to paint a glowing, gaudy picture of Austria. Breathtaking montages and elaborate filming technology delve into the postcards' humid colors without losing their trashy allure.
