Vito Acconci's classic, The Red Tapes, is an epic of story-telling. The various segments feature the blank screen itself along with various props, voice-overs, appropriated images, sound collages, and most importantly, Acconci himself.
In The Red Tapes [Acconci's] attitude toward the audience is both seductive and antagonistic; as he moves from a stream-of-consciousness inner life rant about power, about sexuality [and] about his sexuality, and then reaches out to us...a transference occurs, merging the private and the public." (Video Data Bank catalogue, 1986)
