    Prompted by a summary of Derrida's position by the Art Historian Donald Preziosi in 'The Art of Art History':
    'An 'otherness' always inhabits a work, and no artistic expression can ever be an unmediated manifestation of emotion or thought' (271).
    I have shown the video accompanied by three drawings of fragments of photocopies of photographs of the eyes of performance artists: Vito Acconci, Gina Pane and Marina Abramovic.
