I often look at some movie scenes and ask myself “But where have I already seen it?”. Often the answer to this question is in art. And so I played with my imagination, associating some famous paintings and compositions with characters or scenes from films. I have renamed this summer project “cinema and art”, and I hope it can expand into something more.
