The black and white tapes

Item consists of three video works created by John Orentlicher and Tom Sherman created between 1978 and 1979. The video works are a series titled The black and white tapes and include : 2 + 1 +1, Because it's my image - Watching the leatherman, and She and she. Videos were screened by Centre for Art Tapes in 1980. The Centre for Art Tapes described the videos as the following: 2 + 1 + 1: a nude woman lies on a bed, stroking a dog that lies beside her. Voiceover is a description of sexual imagery repeated several times, first by a man, then a woman, then together. Because it's My Image - Watching the Leatherman: a black man gets dressed up in his leather gear, S &M Style. We hear him describing his garments, but the main audio is a voice that talks about television, voyeurism. She and She: a woman strips, gets into some kind of odd metal breastplate and codpiece, she skips the metal pieces. During this segment, a female voice talks about sharing space, the audience trusting the character and vice versa.
