Ghent, Belgium: Imschoot Uitgevers, 1993. 21×14,8 cm, softcover

Important artist’s book, where Birnbaum appropriates and re-appropriates static images of anonymous street posters and graffiti from Paris during May ’68. A new narrative of unrest emerges printed in deep black and pearl silver making for an interesting and ever-relevant media critique.

** Please note that images from the inside of the book are sourced online as the copy offered here is still sealed. **. new, still sealed.

The resultant animated sequences are re-dedicated to the printed page as these multiple transformations turn the technology on itself. The newly rendered posters, each providing a commentary on television and mass media, are no longer specific to the public streets of Paris. Rather, their critical locus is relocated within the newly defined public space television.
