Point of View: An Anthology of the Moving Image was “an answer to the need for accessibility to the work of some of the most important artists working in video, film and digital imagery today. Audiences have come to know and respond to this work through large-scale installations in museums, galleries and international biennials. As a selective survey of the field, Point of View provides the broad range of ideas and approaches that are typical of the medium, from artists both established and emerging.”
Point Of View: An Anthology of the Moving Image was a DVD series that featured eleven leading artists from different generations and cultural perspectives, who are among the most important artists working in film, video, and digital imagery in the 2000’s: Francis Alys , David Claerbout, Douglas Gordon, Gary Hill, Pierre Huyghe, Joan Jonas, Isaac Julien, William Kentridge, Paul McCarthy, Pipilotti Rist, Anri Sala.
