The Kiss

Overview

The heated rhythms of the original Munch have been frozen out. The only touch of colour is in the woman's blood-red bracelet. The only movement is an almost imperceptible caress on her shoulder, from a hand as bleached-out and furtive as a vampire's claw. Throbbing, slowed-down drum'n'bass plays in the background. Dolven has taken a still image that moves, turned it into a moving image that is utterly fixed, and created a work that is enduringly haunting.
