According to Nicholas Bourriaud,“The storyline and the contextual backdrop of the original feature film vanish along with the secondary actors, all now relegated to the mute realm of the proverbial cutting room floor. The result is an unusually direct and somewhat violent relationship between the secluded actor and the viewer, who is granted an almost obscene access to the star. Composed of a series of film clips isolated and chronologically strung together, the new films crudely distill every grunt and murmur of the designated star.”
