First edition. Book in Near Fine condition. Dust jacket in Very Good condition with some minor edge wear. Comes in removable protective Brodart mylar cover.

A very rare out of print book that was published in relation to the exhibition I said I love. That is the promise: the TVideo politics of Jean-Luc Godard at the Swiss Institute in New York and the Institute of Contemporary Art in Copenhagen. The book examines Godard’s underseen and underappreciated video and television work, from his first TV program Le Gai Savoir in 1968 to 1999, the year the Swiss Institute in New York staged the exhibition and lecture series that occasioned this book. Featuring essays by film and video art scholars, this book includes in-depth criticism on the filmmaker’s most groundbreaking video work, including the 12 episode Six fois deux: Sur et sous la communication, Numéro Deux, France/tour/détour/deux/enfants, Scénario du film Passion as well as JLG/JLG: Self Portrait in December. It is illustrated throughout with 1-color stills from the video programs and in situ images of the exhibition. No self-respecting Godard fan or cineaste should live without it.
