烏利希‧呂科林 Ulrich Rückriem 1971, 20:40mins

簡介/Synopsis

一分割、二圓圈、三對角線這三部錄影片是1970/1971年間烏利希‧呂科林與蓋瑞‧蘇姆和巫素拉‧薇菲絲共同製作的。簡潔的題目已經暗示了作品中所遵循的放棄美學：他們刻意避免掉耗費繁複的圖像製作方式。相反的，藝術家專注於簡單的處理過程，其背景的選擇以及他如何借助自己的身體畫圓圈和斜線，如何分割木板都是刻意將它們簡化地表演出來。呂科林宣稱其目的是藉此有意識地把重點轉移到製作過程的本身。

The videos,“1. Teilungen, 2. Kreise, 3. Diagonalen” (1. Divisions, 2. Circles, 3. Diagonals), were produced by Ulrich Rückriem in 1970/1971 in cooperation with Gerry Schum and Ursula Wevers. The laconic titles already point to the aesthetic of renunciation realised in them: elaborate possibilities for image creation are consciously avoided. On the contrary – the choice of the backgrounds, before which the artist focuses on displaying through simple actions how he can draw circles and diagonals and break wooden laths with the help of his body, is angled at a deliberate simplicity in mounting images. Rückriem’s declared goal is to direct attention consciously onto the production process in that way.
