JOI's filmography

quote

first, for conceptual reasons, Incandenza eschewed both L. of C. registration and formal dating until the advent of Subsidized Time […] and lastly that certain of his high-conceptual projects’ agendas required that they be titled and subjected to critique but never filmed, making their status as film subject to controversy.

Context

The archival challenge that matters most to the theme: the filmography contains works that were never filmed and were never supposed to be — "titled and subjected to critique," full stop. Found Drama's camera-removal (078) is here ratified at the document level, as a cataloguing problem: the archive is forced to hold entries whose whole content is critical discourse about an object that doesn't exist.
