"I use a lot of repetition. And it becomes a filmic way of talking because as you put the same image after the other, even though it’s the exact identical image, everyone sees something changing from one image to the next."
–Ida Applebroog

From the series, "Exclusive"
About
Filmed in his Brooklyn studio, Allan McCollum reveals the process and logic behind the project "Over Ten Thousand Individual Works" (begun in 1982). Cast in plaster, hand-painted, and displayed in vast quantities, each "Individual Work" is a unique combination of shapes adapted from commercially-produced objects.
