Slater Bradley and Ed Lachman: Shadow November 18, 2010

'Shadow' (2010), a new video work by Slater Bradley in collaboration with Academy Award-nominated cinematographer Ed Lachman, takes as its inspiration the unfinished Hollywood film 'Dark Blood' (1993), which was never completed due to the untimely death of its star, River Phoenix. Seventeen years later, Shadow presents a kind of prologue to the original film, revisiting Phoenix's character while creating a new narrative which, when woven together with the original, creates a labyrinthine tale that blurs the lines between illusion and reality. 'Slater Bradley and Ed Lachman: Shadow' is curated by Anne and Joel Ehrenkranz Curator Chrissie Iles.
