DANCE NUMBER 1

by Raphael MONTAÑEZ ORTIZ
1985 / U-Matic / b&w / sound / 1 screen / 3' 45

Starting in 1957, Raphael Montañez Ortíz produced a number of singular works by subjecting 16mm prints of commercially- or institutionally-produced films to a cut-up method inspired by Yaqui shamanic practices, a kind of ritualistic chance operation intended to break down their structure and thoroughly undermine their discursive power.
