Christian Marclay's Video Quartet - Excerpt #1

"In 2001 Marclay spent a whole year in front of the screen, producing his most celebrated work to date, Video Quartet. This staggering montage of musical scenes from Hollywood films was the centre of his solo show at the Barbican in 2005, and is now in Tate Modern’s permanent collection. Making it was painstaking. Marclay stitched together 700 clips, including one of Harpo Marx playing the harp and another featuring Holly Hunter in The Piano. The result was an awe-inspiring cinematic installation across four screens."
