The Top Grossing Film of All Time, 1 x 1 2000 Digital C-print mounted to Plexiglas. 47” x 72”. Ed. 5 + 2 APs. The worldwide top grossing film of all time (until 2010), Titanic, was digitized from video in its entirety and broken up into its constituent frames. Each of these was then averaged to a single color best representative of that frame and reformatted as a photograph mirroring the narrative sequence of the film. Reading from left-to-right and top-to-bottom, the narrative’s visual rhythm is laid out in pure color.
