Excerpt
“I met Duchamp at a museum lecture when I was very young—I think I may have been around 14 or 15. As soon as I learned about him, something clicked in my mind about the dichotomy of reality and how it’s interpreted. So, when I saw him speak [in the late 1950s], I already knew how important he was. I went up there and introduced myself and shook his hand. It was thrilling. I did the same thing again 10 years later, when he spoke about his work at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art.
His work was just so radical, and I wanted to know more about it. I thought that by making videotapes about him, I could learn more.”
