Understanding this quote
The quote humorously presents Marcel Duchamp as an artist who has tried almost everything, with video as the one notable exception. The doors turn that broad claim into a visual joke: the entrance is oversized, while the exit is tiny. This contrast suggests an exaggerated, playful way of describing his inventive range and the unusual scale of his work.
