Screening Statues: Sculpture and Cinema is the first book to focus
on the relationship between sculpture and the silver screen. It
covers a broad range of magical, mystical and phenomenological
interactions between the two media, from early film's eroticized
tableaux vivants to enigmatic sculptures in modernist cinema.
Sculptures are literally brought to life on the silver screen,
while living people are turned into, or trapped inside, statuary.
The book examines key sculptural motifs and cinematic sculpture in
film history through a series of case studies and through an
extensive reference gallery of 150 different films. Considering the
work of directors like Georges Melies, Jean Cocteau and Alain
Resnais, as well as films like House of Wax, Jason and the
Argonauts and Clash of the Titans, this is an innovative
exploration of two different media, their artistic traditions and
their respective theoretical paradigms.
