Attribution / research note
Physical packaging names seven participating artists/directors: Larry Clark, Gaspar Noé, Sam Taylor-Wood, Matthew Barney, Richard Prince, Marco Brambilla and Marina Abramović. Current canonical authority form Sam Taylor-Johnson is used while preserving the printed 2006 credit 'Sam Taylor-Wood' in this note. Rear sleeve states 115 minutes approx., stereo 2.0, PAL Region 2, DVD-9 dual-layer single-sided disc and BBFC 18, and identifies Revolver Entertainment as the UK distributor/publisher.
Why this object matters
The UK seven-artist DVD preserves a specific commercially circulated configuration of Destricted's art/pornography experiment. The collaboration and distribution form support outstanding importance; the ordinary case and untested playback do not supply a separate exceptional-copy claim.
Evidence limits: Complete under the standing TMR rule: original keep case, printed wraparound sleeve and one DVD disc are present; no missing issued component has been reported.
