SKETCHES ON A MOVIE SET

In the summer of 2019, Wim Wenders shot a short immersive 3D film in Butte, Montana entitled Two or Three Things I Know About Edward Hopper as an homage to Edward Hopper. The installation will be presented during the expansive exhibition of Edward Hopper’s works at Fondation Beyeler in Basel in January 2020.

During the production of this 3D installation, I captured the precious moments of preparation before the slate snapped. The subject of my interest was the actors’ process during the short rehearsal time to find their posture, position and movement for the final frame.

We produced a movie with hundreds of these images to create a 2D loop. I call the gathering of these black & white long exposure photographs 'Sketches on a Movie Set'.

There are two photographs taken from the installation that will be available as unlimited edition prints. With these photographs you gain access to the 2D movie on any of your smartphone devices.
