A man of the crowd - Matthew Buckingham

Autoři

Více o knize

In Edgar Allan Poe's story, „The Man of the Crowd“ (1840), a young man secretly follows an enigmatic older man through London’s city streets for twenty-four hours, trying to discover something about him. The film loop installation and artist's book „A Man of the Crowd,“ locates the story in Vienna, a city that retains its nineteenth century plan and organization. „The Man…“ becomes „A Man…“: a film camera is introduced into Poe’s narrative and paradoxically becomes a “central character.” The installation spatializes the symmetry, doubling, and self-reflexivity of the Poe story: the 16mm film is projected through a freestanding two-way mirror that both echoes a window in the story and reflects and doubles the projected image in the exhibition space. The mirror also multiplies and displaces the viewer while framing other spectators in the space.
