Johan Grimonprez - Looking for Alfred

As with »Dial H-I-S-T-O-R-Y«, Grimonprez’ latest and by no means completed project »Looking for Alfred« plays with simulations and optical illusions. Point of departure is the figure of film director Alfred Hitchcock and his legendary guest appearances in his own films. Innumerable Hitchcock doppelgangers act out a mysterious game of confusion in which it rains umbrellas and swarms of birds evoke a sinister atmosphere. The imaginable claims to be true, the real seems improbable. This homage to Hitchcock, the »Master of Suspense«, also pays tribute to the imagery of the Surrealist painter René Magritte - and, in doing so, to one of the central themes of the Sammlung Moderne Kunst (Modern Art Collection) at the Pinakothek der Moderne.
