Austrian-born, Los Angeles-based conceptualist Mathias Poledna deconstructs and reconstructs recent pop, political and media history. The film Western Recording (2003) takes as its starting point the recording of a vocal track on the 1969 song City Life by the singer-composer Harry Nilsson, and projects a complex panorama of historical and spatial references.
