Guitar Drag Trailers

For this video shot in Texas, Christian Marclay connected an electric guitar to an amplifier and dragged it behind a pick-up truck. The resulting cacophonic sound evokes noise music and the destruction of instruments at rock concerts and in Fluxus performances. The work refers more precisely to a racist murder committed in 1998 not far from the film location - James Byrd Jr. an African American, was dragged by a truck for several kilometers.

Reviews
GazerRise Fantastic!
PiraBit if their story seems completely bonkers, almost like a feverish work of fiction, you ain't heard nothing yet.
Asad Almond A clunky actioner with a handful of cool moments.
Ezmae Chang This is a small, humorous movie in some ways, but it has a huge heart. What a nice experience.
