Judy Radul - This Is Television
2019
English edition
Sternberg Press - Monographs and artists' books
This Is Television addresses the increasingly obsolete medium of television by way of the medium of the book, commenting on media's continuous changes of form and format.

The book thematizes television as a cultural container, both in its format as a box for content and as an ideologically saturated apparatus for reception.
