FILM

With 66 master collagist Lewis Klahr presents the first three parts of what shall become a series in which he develops his own brand of mythopoesis, joining mid 1960s daylight film noir and Greek mythology. Klahr has always mimed the processes of memory by pulling together the discards of contemporary life (images from ads, text books, or comic books, objects such as game pieces, menus, playing cards) into scenarios that seem like some Hollywood films dimly remembered. The scent of elliptical narrative lingers throughout, as vividly colored 1960s comic book figures thread their way through iconic photographic settings that are often black-and-white and often of mid- twentieth century Los Angeles.
