The PhotoBookMuseum goes K18
In the organizer's words:
Shadow over Shadow - A PhotoBook Noir
A PhotoBookMuseum Show @ Körnerstr.18
The dark side of life - corrupted politics, conspiracy theorists, organized crime, psychopathic killers, false prayers and fake news. Looking at the world today we seem to slide into a "New Noir". SHADOW OVER SHADOW plays an elegant fiction / non-fiction game with our perception. What comes as an illustrated script for a shady B-Movie is Vitor Casimero's childhood dream - to make a Film Noir. With the help of images culled from the immense public digital collection of the United States Library of Congress - all made in the US between the 1930s and 1960s, Casimiro has genuinely translated the language of cinema into the language of a photobook. The well-chosen and edited images and the characters he created in his self-written script, a Detective, a Femme fatale and a Boxer, constantly draw you further into the story and the book. This visual research into the tropes, clichés and genre conventions of American crime films is an outstanding photobook and a worthy dummy award winner. Congratulations Vitor!
