The Boy from Mars

description

DVD of Philippe Parreno's film "The Boy from Mars," originally vacuum sealed and housed in a white cardstock envelope with a descriptive text based sticker.

"This film lasts for 11 minutes and 40 seconds but 48 hours after being removed from its sealed package it will disappear from this support through a process of oxidation. The film has stereo sound and a song featured at the end. There are no computer generated special effects in this production. What you see in the picture was constructed in order to be filmed. This is the story of a film that produced a building and the story of an architecture that provided the scenario for a film. The film is one element of a two-headed mutant, one of two inseparable twins who share the same body. The building does exist somewhere in South East Asia."——from sticker on recto cover
