Avant-Garde Vertigo
Abstract
Giżycki draws the spiral line of inspirations that evolve around one of the most important films of Alfred Hitchcock – “Vertigo”. This film not only refers to th surrealism (especially Rene Magritte) and to famous painting “Ophelia” by the Pre-Raphaelite, John Everett Millais; Vertigo appears to be very seminal for the future artists, such as Victor Burgin, the author of the installation The Bridge (1984) or Douglas Gordon, who directed film showing Bernard Herrmann, the conductor, during performing the score for Hitchcock’s film.
