60 Unit Bruise

60 Unit Bruise
- Artist: Paul Wong
- Year: 1976
- Duration: 5:00
- Country: Canada
One of the first experiments with colour Portapaks in Canada. Fletcher draws blood out of his arm with a syringe and then injects it into the back of Wong, causing a random pattern of bruising to appear. This simple document captures a modern blood-brother ritual performed in innocence, startling to a post-AIDS audience. Other works by the Mainstreeters are available on the compilation THE MAINSTREET TAPES (1976) and through individual works by Jeanette Reinhardt, Joe Sarahan and Paul Wong.
