Nancy Holt’s film "Underscan" (1974) explores the home of the artist’s aging aunt through still images and excerpts from her letters. Dara Birnbaum’s "Technology/Transformation: Wonder Woman" (1978–79) utilizes imagery from the television series Wonder Woman to deconstruct the identity of a pop culture icon. Eleanor Antin’s "Caught in the Act" (1973) compares the realities of still photographs to images captured on videotape. 70 minutes.
