Throughout the history of cinema, film has been used as a way out - a method of escaping a reality which, for one reason or another, we’d rather not pay too much attention to. More-so today than ever, we are allowed to exist in alternate realities which can be endlessly rewatched and revisited - never letting us down because we know how they start and end. I wanted to play on this expectation of predictability in this show by twisting some of cinema’s’s most iconic, pictures, defacing and reimagining the images we think we know and trying break that that cycle of comfortable, knowable nostalgia. Are these classics really as good as we hold them up to be, or is it time to take off the rose tints for a better look? I’m not trying to say we should all swear-off cinema or that the classics aren’t classics for a reason, but just once in a while, it’s good to take a peak through the cracks of the real world.
