Primary
A video by Gary Hill. Made in 1978.
“Primary is a performance video in which the artist represents and breaks down the movements of the articulation of the spoken language by associating a colour with each shape adopted by the mouth when pronouncing the monosyllabic word that corresponds to it. The three words on the tape are: ‘Blue, red, green’.
Primary was one of the first tapes to use spoken text as an element for structuring images and the work itself. The Equal Time (1979) and Black / White / Text (1980) tapes, amongst others, were also to use spoken text, but in a more complex manner.
