Book review: after uniqueness: a history of film and video art in circulation by Erika Balsom

In After Uniqueness: A History of Film and Video Art in Circulation, Erika Balsom traces the ideological, technological and historical conventions that have framed the possibilities and meanings of image reproduction in the fields of film and video art. Looking at official and unofficial modes and channels of distribution, this is a careful, conscientious study shaped by Balsom’s empathetic and attentive approach, writes Sander Hölsgens.
