Paul Chan’s Tin Drum Trilogy includes the acclaimed single channel videos:
In addition, this new DVD box set includes audio commentary by Paul Chan and VDB Director Abina Manning. An accompanying monograph includes title descriptions, artist’s biography, and newly commissioned contextualizing essays by Dierdre Boyle and Yates Mckee. “Each video in the series was made utilizing different experimental traditions, but with one consistent theme: that to love your enemy is to know your enemy… The Bush administration (in RE: THE_OPERATION), Iraqis (in BAGHDAD...), and the religious right living in red-state America (in Now promise now threat) are all perceived, rightly or wrongly, as enemies. The task of all three videos has been to make the friend/enemy distinction more difficult while at the same time giving a time-based critique of the political tragedy/farce that is our first five years of the twenty-first century.” Click here for a complete description of Tin Drum Trilogy.
