Scope and Contents

In this drawing, Tom Phillips describes the rehearsals and actors for the Dante Inferno video. The two colored photographs collaged onto the drawing are stills of a female and two male nudes from the video. There is extensive application of rubberstamping with images that include large numerals, a clock face, Dante's head, and two Egyptian-like eyes, fleur de lise, skull and cross bones, and skull in profile. Some images are crossed out and others may have been used by Phillips in the Dante work, as he discusses rubberstamped images in the handwritten text. -- Source of annotation: Marvin or Ruth Sackner.
