Christian Marclay - Guitar Drag [1] (2000)

The 14-minute video Guitar Drag, 2000, shows an amplified Fender guitar attached to a rope being pulled behind a pick-up truck. As the guitar drags across back roads and dirt trails, it produces a range of cacophonous musical sounds that often correlate to what is seen. Guitar Drag explores the collected mythologies of the guitar, the rural South and the truck, and Marclay evokes such disparate associations as rock-and-roll guitar smashing and the history of lynching in the South. This is the first half of the 14 minute video. I apologize for the poor quality. Download a full quality version for iPod here: http://video.google.com/videop...
