John Baldessari (b. 1931)
Title
(1971)
"Title" is without doubt one Baldessari's most radical projects, a juxtaposition of extremely minimal images following each other without hierarchy nor direction. In this work Baldessari isolates and breaks up a classic film into its component parts. First the objects, the characters, the landscapes, then the frames associating two shapes, and finally the start of an action, of a dialogue. In this way he shows the precise making and manipulation of meaning, the tricks of cinematic space-time.
