        Johan Grimonprez: Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y

        Hans Ulrich Obrist

        Ostfildern-Ruit: Hatje Cantz 2003

      2. Grimonprez’s acclaimed film (which garnered huge response when shown in Documenta X, 1997), is a pre-9/11 documentary on the history of skyjacking and terrorism from the 1960s through the 1990s. The work mixes archival footage with private home movies, and explores our contemporary relationship with the notion of “disaster.” With texts by Don DeLillo and Slavoj Žižek.
