Disposable

Penelope Buitenhuis

1984, 14:40 minutes, colour, English

TAPECODE 217.06

Disposable is an experimental narrative that metaphorically contrasts North American disposable culture forms such as video, polaroid and grafitti against more enduring cultural traditions in Europe. With a juxtaposition of music and pop absurdist dialogue, the tape comments on America's historic amnesia and consumerism.
