I Want to Live in the Country (And Other Romances)

Joan Jonas

1974 | 00:25:00 | United States | English | Color |

Collection: Early Video Art, Single Titles

Tags: Landscape, Performance, Video History

Jonas intercuts scenes of the Nova Scotia countryside with images of a studio set-up reminiscent of a di Chirico painting. The soundtrack includes both music and spoken excerpts from a journal Jonas kept while travelling in Nova Scotia. I Want to Live in the Country ultimately deals with observation and fantasy, living in the country, and the stifling aspects of the city and one's art.

This title was in the original Castelli-Sonnabend video art collection.
