A Chair (1970)
One of Takahiko Iimura's (and modern art's) earliest works in conceptual video, A Chair entirely consists of a steady (and usually ghosted) image of a chair to the accompaniment of the firecracker pops of television static. While formally minimal, A Chair is conceptually challenging in its simplicity and its demand that the audience zero in on, of all things, a simple chair. - Tom FritscheA Chair is streaming on Fandor..
