The scene \u2013 five seconds from Wim Wenders\u2019 film \u2018The American Friend\u2019 \u2013 has been transferred \u00a0to a video loop and is, in turn, slowed and speeded up to transform Hopper\u2019s mood from growling determination to chipmunk optimism and back again.<\/p>\n<p>Mark Dean\u2019s sharp video\/sound works are concerned with reactions to life\u2019s scary incoherence. In the next room another stammering screen plays a multi speed loop from Wenders\u2019 film \u2018Alice in the Cities\u2019 whose male protagonist similarly murmurs \u2018I\u2019m afraid of fear\u2019 \u2013 horror breeding horror. This is the optimism of Beckett. The scene is bracketed by symbolic frames of a bath filling and emptying down a plughole reminiscent of a scene in \u2018Psycho\u2019. And, sure enough, Hitchcock lurks downstairs. An audio excerpt from his infamously nasty film \u2018Frenzy\u2019 plays over a clip from Hopper\u2019s \u2018Easy Rider\u2019. On screen, a woman repeatedly mouths a phrase, a protective mantra against disappointment. In this case, a sense of hope, of overcoming, glimmers through. It\u2019s the strongest piece here, an impressively poetic, radical reshaping of the source material.<\/p>\n<p>As the characters enact their reassurance rituals, we have to wonder whether it\u2019s really for the best. Perhaps, like Dean\u2019s judicious editing, they are merely blocking out the sight of the bigger picture.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>City Racing, London<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":7,"featured_media":17512,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":"","_wp_rev_ctl_limit":""},"categories":[102,95],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1634","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-selected-exhibitions","category-solo"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/chaplachap.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1634","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/chaplachap.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/chaplachap.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chaplachap.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/7"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chaplachap.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1634"}],"version-history":[{"count":10,"href":"https:\/\/chaplachap.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1634\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":17973,"href":"https:\/\/chaplachap.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1634\/revisions\/17973"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chaplachap.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/17512"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/chaplachap.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1634"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chaplachap.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1634"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/chaplachap.com\/art\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1634"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
