Modern Tragedy


I participated in the Hoogtij exhibition series with the girls from LAPt/m. I have been obsessed with title screens in old films for a long time. There’s something poetically silly about announcing or explaining parts of the movie. I connected that logic back to the origin of the structured story, the Greek tragedy. I tried to envision a few of the classic hooks in the tragedy as titles for a fifties film.
