Additional Texts

This video was made in 1982. Of the 17 episodes of "A History of Life and Customs for the years 2084 - 3000" announced in the final section, two more were made but never shown. The procedure was the same in all three episodes: Wyborny was the main actor and also did the camera work. Apart from the third part, no one else was on set. The framing was determined by watching himself on the monitor while the camera was rolling. The text is improvised. The editing rhythm was created directly on the original VHS tape that recorded the shots. Only the sound was minimally edited.
