Furburger

Mark Verabioff

1991, 05:15 minutes, colour

tapecode 202.05

⊕Add to OrderReview Order

"Furburger intentionally exploits the video medium's intrinsic capacity to create semiotic complexity - image, sound and text are layered so as to create a rich network of connotative meanings...close ups of a man's anal area serves as the tape's visual and conceptual focal point...Image and sound function relatively… ⊕
