Crash

"I substituted an escalator with the The Atrocity Exhibition by J. G. Ballard and clung there with my camera. Zooming in, I plunged into its mechanical movement: the collision of gaze against image, metal against metal, the moment of insertion… The erotic to-and-fro rhythm of the montage proceeds, as if to impale itself in these cathode lines which radiate… in these tangled phantasms."

Finding Vivian Maier

Vivian Maier's photos were seemingly destined for obscurity, lost among the clutter of the countless objects she'd collected throughout her life. Instead these images have shaken the world of street photography and irrevocably changed the life of the man who brought them to the public eye. This film brings to life the interesting turns and travails of the improbable saga of John Maloof's discovery of Vivian Maier, unravelling this mysterious tale through her documentary films, photographs, odd collections and personal accounts from the people that knew her. What started as a blog to show her work quickly became a viral sensation in the photography world. Photos destined for the trash heap now line gallery exhibitions, a forthcoming book and this documentary film.
