Gagosian Gallery: Richard Philips’ s video

Gagosian Gallery is pleased to announce “Lindsay Lohan,” the first short film by artist Richard Phillips.
The 90-second motion portrait of Lindsay Lohan, which Richard Phillips created in collaboration with the actor, draws from the conventions of Phillips’ painting, exploring the legacies of classical portraiture in relation to contemporary culture’s mediated representations.
The film depicts Lohan engaged in a reformulation of classic performance tropes, with references including the iconic imageryof the Homeric identity split of Brigitte Bardot in Godard’s “Contempt” and the psychodelic amalgam of Bibi Anderson and Liv Ulman in Ingmar Bergman’s “Persona.”
