Christian Marclay: Various Works

In a series of photographs showing screaming faces, cut and torn fragments from comic books, movie stills, and images found on the internet are arranged into haunting, mask-like composites, and then recorded by the camera. Capturing the paper’s inherent creases and tears, the photographs mix analog and digital elements, and investigate the computer screen as a contemporary physical surface.

Christian Marclay routinely makes photographs during his daily walks through London, where he now lives. By subtly editing many thousands of images of the pavement beneath his feet, Marclay has created hypnotic animations that unlock new possibilities inherent in the concept of “street photography.”
