![Barbara T. Smith, With Love from A to B (1977)
Created with Nancy Buchanan, With Love from A to B was initially a video performance for the 1977 College Art Association convention. Smith had the idea of using the framing edge [of the screen] to initiate all action, with the center field more or less empty. In the video, Smiths hands act as a suitor courting buchanans hands, who do not return the suitors love. The original piece ended with Smith controversially cutting her own finger a choice she later regretted and re-shot so that the violence was only implied.
