    People often want to hear what the artist has to say, what lies “behind” the work, yet at the same time it’s taken as a performance.

It uses the artist’s talk as a form and turns it into a video: the artist is at a lectern, giving an overview of his practice, but his explanations are called into question by the constructed nature of all the graphic effects, repeated sequences, voice-overs, or background music. After all, a video is just material in a chain.
