Retro Mercury, 2014

Retro Mercury continues Alexander Chursin's series based on frames from noir films. The heroine of Hitchcock’s Psycho gets in a car; she is tired, she is running away. In the background of this landmark shot, Chursin emphasizes the plot twist. The plot, which the iconic actress can’t escape, just like the eye can't turn away from this ironic, heart-wrenching composition of inevitable death.
