Sistine Chapel
Originally released in 1993. Sistine Chapel is a documentary/history film. directed by Nam June Paik.
Starring Shigeko Kubota, Charlotte Moorman, and Merce Cunningham
Synopsis
Sistine Chapel is an audio-visual collage of new footage and samples from Paik’s past videos, which featured many of his friends, collaborators, and public figures. It was Paik’s own way of summarizing his artistic career with video. The film installation consists of fast-paced and overlapping images that completely cover the gallery walls and ceiling—one of the most under-appreciated parts of architecture, according to Paik. With its electronic visuals and booming audio, interspersed with periods of silence, the immersive installation stands in stark contrast to the experience of its namesake.
