Elizabeth Price’s narrative video, The Tent (2010), is derived from a single book, Systems (1972). The book is the film’s sole visual subject and the only resource for its graphic narration. Indeed, most aspects of the video, including elements of the soundtrack, have been extorted from the different properties and possibilities of the book.
Shown as part of The Fold, an exhibition programme curated by Dr Sam Belinfante, School of Fine Art, History of Art & Cultural Studies.
