Ends Dec 14, 2019
The second iteration of The Vertigo Project by artist Jean Curran, a body of work of extraordinary color printing in dye transfer, and re-presentation that appropriates key scenes from Alfred Hitchcock’s master opus, Vertigo to reveal the cinematographic artistry of the film in a fresh and novel way. Produced with the full co-operation of the Hitchcock estate, Curran first edited select frames from an original Technicolor dye imbibition print of Vertigo, then printed them using the dye transfer process by which the movie was originally produced and presented in. Editing twenty still images from the hundreds of thousands of frames that make up the film, Curran switches from moving pictures to still prints to create a work that transcends mediums in its own right.
