沃夫岡‧弗拉茲 Wolfgang Flatz 1981, 00:11mins

簡介/Synopsis

雖然弗拉茲這部拍攝於1981年的影片「東尼」非常的短、僅有10秒鐘，不過卻非常吸引人，只是它無窮無盡的循環方式很快就讓觀眾厭煩。影片中，東尼是一位慕尼黑著名的設計師，同時也是一個康特剛藥物的受害者。當觀眾看到他站在一堵牆前享受地吸著煙，就會很快明白，東尼並不認為自己是一個受害者，相反地，他是一個在享樂中揮霍生命的人。影片的背景配上萬寶路香菸挑釁的廣告語，當時香煙的廣告已經不准在電視中出現。

Although Flatz came up with a very short work of only just 10 seconds with their 1981 video, “Toni”, the work is fascinating and rapidly gets on viewers’ nerves with its continual loop-repetitions. What it shows is Toni, a fashion designer well-known in the Munich scene and a casualty of Thalidomide to boot. Viewers see him standing up against a wall enjoying a smoke and so quickly get the idea that he does not understand himself as a victim, but, on the contrary, as a person relishing his life hedonistically. Accompanying that is an advertising slogan for the Marlboro cigarette brand – and this at a time when cigarette advertising was already forbidden on television.
