Jorge Molder's Film Stills at Galerie Bernard Bouche

exhibition · 2026-04-24

Jorge Molder presents 'Lusco-fusco' at Galerie Bernard Bouche in Paris, featuring two series of photographs extracted from Robert Wiene's 'The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari' (1920) and Victor Fleming's 'The Wizard of Oz' (1939). The works freeze cinematic frames, halting narrative flow and emphasizing stillness. Molder treats the image as a fugitive, interrupting the illusion of movement. The hypnotic gaze of Cesare from Caligari is highlighted as both actor and victim. A catalogue with texts by Karim Ghaddab and the artist accompanies the exhibition. The show runs from April 15 to May 9, 2026.
