Video Installation Art: The Body, the Image and the Space-in-Between

by Margaret Morse

The author conducts a thorough study of installation video art, wherein she examines the art form as a non-commodity art form, differentiates it from other proscenium art forms and examines its relations to time and space. She further suggests that video installation art is an art form which envelopes its audience and which breaks down barriers between performer and audience, between now and elsewhere and between here and elsewhere.
