Video Art Theory: A Comparative Approach demonstrates how video art functions on the basis of a comparative media approach, providing a crucial understanding of video as a medium in contemporary art and of the visual mediations we encounter in daily life.

  • A critical investigation of the visual media and selected video artworks which contributes to the understanding of video as a medium in contemporary art
  • The only study specifically devoted to theorizing the medium of video from the perspective of prominent characteristics which result from how video works deal with time, space, representation, and narrative
  • The text has emerged out of the author's own lectures and seminars on video art
  • Offers a comparative approach which students find especially useful, offering new perspectives
