Some Balls Stick, Some Balls Fall

Some Balls Stick, Some Balls Fall Video Clips. Duration : 2.60 Mins.


TITLE: Some Balls Stick, Some Balls Fall DATE: ORIGINAL 1/2" OPEN REEL 1987; VHS Transfer 1990; 3/4 Edit 1992; DIGITAL Remaster 2009; DIGITAL Edit 2010 Run TIME: 2min 35sec 10fr. Can be looped. DESCRIPTION: This is probably the most deceptively simple performance video of all Rosenthal's 100+ deceptively simple performance videos. In it, the off-camera performer (Rosenthal, of course) throws wads of soaked newspapers at a blackboard, the resulting bangs and splatters depicting violence, anger, humor, news commentary, frustration and pure physics. Shot with a black and white 1/2 open reel analog Sony Portapak, the first video equipment Rosenthal ever owned, bought used from Lauren Ewing via Technisphere in 1976. Ambient audio.
