Duration: 7'


GRAVITY
Images of filmed kisses become images
of the universal kiss that is given and
received. The legendary screen couple
Montgomery Clift and Deborah Kerr
segue into the lips and sighs of James
Stewart and Kim Novak, while other
kisses follow each other and the films
interact. Vertigo, North by Northwest,
Blue Velvet, The Thomas Crown Affair
and From Here to Eternity all lend their
images which have become part of the
collective imagery to bring to life new,
spectacular kisses
