This edition by Nam June Paik reflects the artist’s continued exploration of television imagery, digital manipulation, and media culture. All three compositions feature glitch-like backgrounds – A and C with juxtaposing sharply defined television screen inserts and print B with two silhouetted figures. The triptych format suggests a visual or conceptual triangulation, alluded to in the title. As with much of his work, Triangle, Trinity merges the aesthetic of early video art with poetic reflections on human presence within the media-saturated landscape.
This work is in the collection of the Brooklyn Museum, New York.
