From The Art and Popular Culture Encyclopedia

The Bed-Sitting Room was an absurdis British comedy film directed by Richard Lester based on Spike Milligan's play. Here in a Youtube bricolage accompanied by "Milkshake" by American R&B singer-songwriter Kelis. What I like so much about Youtube bricolages is that they address two senses at once. I used to be somewhat addicted to television, but lots of the time, I used to watch with the sound turned off, and some music playing in the background, finding the combination of visuals and sound found on TV not interesting enough.

Also on YouTube, found by the Greek blog dmtls is Joel-Peter Witkin - L’image indélébile (1994) directed by http://www.youtube.com/user/leonocusto666 Jerome de Missolz a documentary first aired on Channel 4 on the work of Joel-Peter Witkin.

When you find an interesting YouTube clip, always check who uploaded it, you will find more interesting footage. In the case of the Witkin documentary, checking the uploader leonocusto666, I found the Polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński Google gallery.
