Summary

These works by photographer and videographer Marco Poloni consist of photo storyboards for films never made. Haunting black-and-white images and accompanying captions suggest noir danger, but in fact, all action, if indeed there is any, takes place outside the frame. The viewer is thus forced into the role of a confidant, an unwilling party to a conspiracy. In this way, Poloni plays with our certainty about the alleged ability of a picture to be representative of reality. The frame is the ultimate arbiter of the story.
