“I thought of the film as a set of ironies upon the form of the art history through its little vocabulary of images; the language is there as a kind of empty sign of the distraction of the lecturing voice, which, if you’re actually looking at the images, goes in one ear and out the other. Of course, the first time anybody ever looked at the film out of my control, they immediately ran the track backwards.” - Hollis Frampton (Criterion)
