The premiere of

Dexter Dalwood

1800 (2006) 35mm film (4mins 15secs)

Artprojx at Prince Charles Cinema

1800 is concerned with the process behind the making of an iconic image. It refers to the heroic gestures of 19th-century history painting, of which Jacques–Louis David’s Napoleon Crossing the St Bernard Pass is perhaps the best-known example.

1800 depicts the production of a final shot. Its rapid-fire narrative is constructed from an eclectic collection of clips showing film crews at work, for example, footage of a film crew from the The Stunt Man (1980), which is itself a film about the making of a film. Dalwood links the film-making process to the process of making a painting, in which the film ultimately appears to recreate David’s painting. In doing so he portrays film-making as a military campaign on a grand scale, referencing the grandeur and ambition of both history painting and film.

1800 is featured in 'Lights, Camera, Action: Artists' Films for the Cinema' at the Whitney Museum of American Art, NY - Feb 2007.
