Publisher Note
"In 1973, Chris Burden produced a performance Through the Night Softly, where he crawled on a road glittering with glass fragments. This performance was filmed, becoming a video piece.
On the evening of November 5, 1973, the video was broadcast during an advertising break on Channel 9 - Los Angeles, under the name TV Ad. It then became a dispositive work.
On Nov. 24, 2008, gaston2511, a YouTube user, posted a version of TV Ad with a voice-over commentary by Chris Burden himself, a copy which belonged to the Pompidou Centre collection.
On November 5, 2013, a postcard, ordered by Ultra Publishing house for a collection called Save the Date, contributes to the circulation of the first image of gaston2511’s YouTube video.
I produced this postcard. I was born on the evening of November 5, 1973, a few minutes after the broadcasting of TV Ad."
