Guitar Drag 2000
IMDb: 6.6 14 min
For this video shot in Texas, Christian Marclay connected an electric guitar to an amplifier and dragged it behind a pick-up truck. The resulting cacophonic sound evokes noise music and the destruction of instruments at rock concerts and in Fluxus performances. The work refers more precisely to a racist murder committed in 1998 not far from the film location – James Byrd Jr. an African American, was dragged by a truck for several kilometers.
