Big Picture is the title of a work by Jason Rhoades, a Californian artist who died young in 2006. In an ironic reversal of the title, it shows a large garden on a small flat screen. This lavishly illustrated catalogue presents 12 film and video installations by international artists, each of whom takes a different approach to the cinematographic installation as a genre. The focus is on the importance of space to film and video art installations, which as media art have to redefine their performance parameters at each new presentation. Published on the occasion of the exhibition Big Picture at Kunstsammlung Nordrhein-Westfalen, K21 St ndehaus, D sseldorf, 19 March to 14 August 2011.
