You + You Alone

Description:

Mark Curry presented an installation of video work sourced from popular and auteur films of the twentieth century. Using subtle digital manipulation, Curry suspended the films at a point where they naturally loop—extending a moment of hesitation to infinity. In his work, Paramount, Curry had painstakingly removed the film company’s name from its familiar opening title sequence leaving only the iconographic mountain landscape. Throughout his work, cinematic moments are constantly defined in the negative, by what is not there, and never allowed to occur.

This exhibition was part of the Popular Format series.
