The world of Hitchcock’s cinema – a classical cinema of formal unities and narrative coherence – represents more than the spectre of a supposedly dead art form: it transcends its own filmic and institutional contexts, becoming an important audio-visual lexicon of desire, loss, mystery and suspense.\u003cbr\u003e Through a detailed study of the Hitchcock-related work of artist-filmmakers Matthias Müller and Christoph Girardet, Johan Grimonprez, Pierre Huyghe, Douglas Gordon and Atom Egoyan, this book facilitates a dialogue between the creative appropriation of Hitchcock’s films and the cinematic practices that increasingly inform the wider field of the contemporary visual arts. Each chapter is structured around a consideration of how the artwork in question has reconfigured or ‘remade’ key Hitchcockian expressive elements and motifs – in particular, the relationship between \u003ci\u003emise en scène \u003c\/i\u003eand the mechanics of suspense, time, memory, history and death. In a career that extended across silent and sound eras as well as the British, European and Hollywood industries, Hitchcock’s film œuvre can be seen as a history of the cinema itself. As the work of these contemporary artist-filmmakers shows, it was also a history of the future, a paradigm case par excellence.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eContents: Mapping the Field of Hitchcockian Appropriation – Found Footage in Flames: Matthias Müller and Christoph Girardet’s \u003ci\u003ePhoenix Tapes\u003c\/i\u003e – The Essay-Film (Expanded): Johan Grimonprez’s \u003ci\u003eDouble Take \u003c\/i\u003e– Horror in Real-Time: Douglas Gordon’s \u003ci\u003e24 Hour Psycho \u003c\/i\u003e– Participatory Remaking: Pierre Huyghe’s \u003ci\u003eRemake \u003c\/i\u003e– Screening Memory: Atom Egoyan’s \u003ci\u003eEvidence \/ Felicia’s Journey\u003c\/i\u003e.","brand":"Peter Lang AG, Internationaler Verlag der Wissenschaften","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51043640836439,"sku":"9783034317801","price":58.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1739\/5799\/files\/9783034317801.jpg?v=1750958982","url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/the-paradigm-case-the-cinema-of-hitchcock-and-the-contemporary-visual-arts-9783034317801","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
