Stanley Kubrick
Still from the film The Shining
1980
35mm, colour, sound, 146’
When I first saw Stanley Kubrick's film 'The Shining' 25 years ago, the famous elevator scene left a deep impression on me. So much that there was a period that every new idea for a work of art was measured against this scene.
In this scene (which is a work of art in itself), we are presented with a very aesthetic and balanced image that is at the same time very disturbing. With very recognisable elements, an unseen situation is created that we are left guessing about. I am also looking for this tension and contradiction in my own work. For me, good art should seduce and wring.
