The Top Grossing Film of All Time, 1 x 1   2000
Digital C-print mounted to Plexiglas
47" x 72". Ed. 5 + 2 APs.

The worldwide top grossing film of all time, Titanic, was digitized from video in its entirety and broken up into its constituent frames. Each of these was then averaged to a single color best representative of that frame and reformatted as a photograph mirroring the narrative sequence of the film. Reading from left-to-right and top-to-bottom, the narrative's visual rhythm is laid out in pure color.
