1974 · 6 min

This video is the first in the trilogy The Cologne Tapes, which Davis made in Cologne in 1974, and which was realized in cooperation with the Lijnbaancentrum. On the pavement somewhere on a street, a video camera lies on a light cushion. It lies there staring invitingly at the passers-by.
