Telephones
A pioneering work by Christian Marclay, *Telephones* is a compelling video piece that masterfully edits together clips from Hollywood films in which characters answer, speak into, and hang up telephones, creating a seamless and hypnotic cinematic montage. This example is from the unnumbered edition of 250, signed and dated '11-9-05' on the certificate of authenticity in black ink, and published by the artist himself. Presented in excellent condition and housed in its original clear plastic DVD case, this work exemplifies Marclay's celebrated exploration of sound, time, and popular culture through the language of film.
