These video montages consist of the “in-between” shots from iconic Hollywood films: a flock of birds flying in the twilight, a hand picking up a glass of whiskey, rain falling against garbage cans in an alley, trees whizzing by as seen from a moving car and so on. These interstitial moments are without faces or trademark shots so that recognition of a particular film is nearly impossible. I have carefully excised this imagery from about sixty films and tightly stitched them together to form readable narratives. I have further de-contextualized the shots by converting them to silvery black-and-white tones. Cinematic memory flows from shot to shot, spanning across space and time. I am hoping to displace the viewer into a familiar yet unfamiliar psychological arena.
