Live broadcast of public events often leaves television viewers with the feeling of being mere onlookers. This Negra Group performance in Buenos Aires casts the television viewer into the physical experience of being present. The editing selects fragments of the performance, just as the human eye of a spectator chooses its own images.

A TV Dante is a rare species – contemporary artists’ television based on a European classic text. Dante’s “Inferno” has haunted minds for centuries, and as our own century of holocaust, pollution and conflict draws to its close, Dante’s lucid vision of hell speaks to us afresh. The original work is itself multi-layered and a Tv Dante uses the full resources of digital video graphics and editing to convey all levels of the poem’s meaning and to connect them with the viewer’s experience.
