Everybody Loves Nothing - Steve Reinke

. .

Résumé :
Cultural Writing. Art. EVERYBODY LOVES NOTHING compiles acclaimed video artist Steve Reinke's scripts from 1996 to the present, numerous illustrative stills and an extensive interview by filmmaker Mike Holboom that probes Reinke's ambitions and inspiration and provides a broad overview of his career until now. Reinkes's videos are often composed of original and found footage (from home movies, training films, porn flicks), and are typically diaristic, often philosophical, even elegiac. The writing in this book is extremely well-crafted, possessing a wit and intelligence that translates well to the page; what seems improvisatory on screen is in fact very polished and precise prose.
