this may be a very interesting website to have a look on:
(Polish video art!!)

"The Films of Polish Women Artists in the 1970s and 1980s - From the Archive of Polish Experimental Film"





Ewa Partum - Tautological cinema : Film by Ewa (1973)
"The first film from the Tautological cinema cycle, does not bear any resemblance to a document.
It is an autonomous cinematic realisation conveying the impossibility of communicating one’s own ideas.
Covering her mouth, eyes, and ears, to signify that the idea is within the artist and thus unable to be conveyed, Partum formulated a concept, which – as it was her objective - describes the alienation of a conceptual art creator.
The artist-creator cannot express his/her idea, which, when materialised on a medium or entering into the field of experience of another person, becomes distorted and distant from the original."
