Kota Ezawa: Odessa Staircase Redux

The work of German-Japanese artist Koto Ezawa depicts iconic moments from art history, film, photography and popular culture, re-conceiving them as animated videos, slide projections, light boxes and prints. Odessa Staircase Redux is a kind of flipbook that revisits the famous sequence from Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin. The first frame of every cut is hand-redrawn in ink, and the resultant series of images is arranged to form a typology of camera angles.
