Description
Summary:	Following the leads of artists such as Nam June Paik and Bruce Nauman, Norwegian video artist Bj rn Melhus (born 1966) exposes the absurdities of television culture and consumer habits. Fragmenting, destroying and reconstituting well-known figures, topics and strategies of the mass media, his practice opens up a network of new interpretations and critical commentaries.
