Engels Smoking His Signature, Signing the Universe
This conceptual video consists of a trilogy which appears to be a statement by the artist about his own work. There are three actions: the artist writes his signature on a piece of paper; he then rolls a cigarette using this paper, and lights up; finally, he blows the smoked signature into the universe. Presented by Netherlands Media Art Institute: Montevideo/Time Based Arts, Amsterdam.
