The 59th Minute
ARTISTS MARCO BRAMBILLA
Marco Brambilla manipulates time-based work with cinematic precision and elliptical narratives, eliciting both suspense and sensory overload. In this excerpt from his video Superstar, an image of a modern skyline descends into the frame. A few moments later, a man's hands, then his feet, then his entire body enter the top of the frame. The subject is frozen in mid-air, at the center of a centripital spin, nearing the conclusion of a free-fall. Perpetually suspended only a few feet off the ground, he braces himself for the impact. As the image falls into blackness —the motive and outcome of his fall remain unresolved.
