As the show had already toured Canada with a comprehensive catalogue, there was little sense in making a second version of what would essentially be the same book, so we proposed instead to make a video-catalogue. A good proportion of the works in the show were moving image or audio, and this format would allow for the inclusion of excerpts to give a better sense of the collection. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe result is an extremely high-speed—and slightly tongue-in-cheek—dash through the show’s five sections, with each still or moving piece of work on-screen for a few seconds, just enough time for a quick voiceover description and accompanying on-screen caption before moving on to the next, along with an intermittent reminder: “This video has been compressed: press pause at any time.” We were influenced by the cartoon science-fiction trope of an entire meal being compressed into a single convenient pill—or its proxy in this case, a tiny USB flash drive, which came in a small bag along with a booklet of extended captions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePublished by\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Badischer Kunstverein","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56687591162242,"sku":null,"price":20.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0603\/5338\/0582\/files\/IMG_3144005.jpg?v=1780575901","url":"https:\/\/goodpress.co.uk\/products\/continental-drift-by-stuart-bertolotti-bailey","provider":"Good Press — good books \u0026 more","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
