Title
Mezzotint 4
Description
Video of a house, inspired by M.R. James's "The Mezzotint" for the exhibition "Fear & Fascination: A Gothic exhibition"
M. R. James (1862-1936), the “father of ghost stories”, was a master of quiet horror. He built suspense through the gradual inclusion of ominous things into daily lives. The Mezzotint tells the story of a curator who receives a new piece of art that portrays a grand house. He thinks little of the seemingly boring and unimpressive picture, until he and his friends begin to notice subtle changes in the image that grow to tell a terrifying story.
Look closely at this picture and see if you notice any changes...
