THE NAM (1997) is a 1,000 page book that details scene-by-scene six Vietnam War films - including Full Metal Jacket and Apocalypse Now - in such a way that they blur into each other. The outcome is, in the artist’s words, the literary equivalent of a “gutting 11 hour supermovie”. Jovially lambasted as ‘unreadable’ by one critic, Banner responded with the 1997 performance Trance in which she read aloud the book in its entirety, in one sitting.
