Press Release (PDF)
If analysis makes sense of something by breaking it into parts, then it seems the choices that define what a part is become vital. These are the choices that construct Dashiell Manley’s practice, a set of rules that delineate boundaries rather than necessarily looking at their contents. In breaking each scene down into sets of ontological subsections, Manley has stepped out of the cycle of the remake, using the material of the 1903 film The Great Train Robbery to create not something abstracted, but something new.
