Tony Oursler was born in 1957 in New York, where he lives and works. His family background included writers and painters, with a strong belief that content is more important than form, a prominent feature of his own life. The book looks at the creative career of this artist who has always distinguished himself for his ability to use new idioms from mass communications, from the first videotapes, produced at the age of just over twenty, to the unsettling, disturbing figurative works of the early nineties.
