Evaluation

A black and white video of Vito Acconci talking to someone who I think are the viewers. I found this film a bit creepy as he lies on the floor speaking to those who view it. He uses a close up of his face the whole time and says things that involve needing 'that person'.

I feel like, somehow, this video is working. Working as in it goes well together. As he lies there and talks seductively and shows intimacy. He could've filmed himself saying something else but what he said and how he says it works. I guess that's what makes this film art. When you watch this video you also notice the scratch effect and that, too, works, like he was losing connection on the other line.

From laying on the floor, to smoking cigarettes. From speaking intimately and seductively to the choice of song he plays and sings along to. Even the use of his body language with the things that he says works, in a creepy and weird way, it works.
