[Audio Video Performance] Keith Arnatt, TV Project Self Burial, publication No.10. Dusseldorf, Fernsehgalerie Gerry Schum, 1969. Brochure, 14.7 x 21 cm, 18 pp. With nine b/w photographic reproductions, including one on the front cover, and facsimiles of the TV schedules. Edition of 500, financed by the collectors Gustav Adolf and Stella Baum, distributed freely by Fernsehgalerie Schum. First sheet is loose, else a crisp copy. Important document of experimental art on tv. Arnatt’s 'Self Burial', or 'The Disappearance of the Artist', consists of the capture of a series of nine b/w photographs that document the artist’s progressive self-burial. We see the artist slowly sinking into a grassy landscape, with only his hair left above ground in the last picture. Turned into a TV format by Gerry Schum, the photographs were broadcasted two by two, inserted into the regular programming of the Westdeutscher Rundfunk, without announcement or comment, between October 11 and 18, 1969.
