Film Shades of Jazz on Noir

  • Gilda_shades_large

In multimedia installation Shades of Jazz on Noir, film excerpts combine with live music: Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho (1960) collides with Otto Preminger's Laura (1944) in a haunting series of muted whispers and penetrating expressions that spotlight the femme fatale. Clouded in the smoky veil of endless cigarettes, the clips form a black-and-white mosaic of noir iconography, broken up by a spoken-word narrative that evokes their scripts' dry patter. But the real soundtrack comes from the Freak Lip Kill Band, who perform an improvised-jazz to the reel.
