Slide and One Onion Canon
Online Exhibition 2007
In 1946 film critic Nino Frank first applied the term film noir to some of the films Hollywood was producing during the period. Discussions of noir often centre on visual and specifically cinematic elements such as chiaroscuro, extreme camera angles and expressionist distortion.
Both literary and cinematic noir are defined by the shifting roles of the protagonist, the ill-fated relationship between the protagonist and society, generating the themes of alienation and entrapment.
In both Adamo Macri’s videos Slide and One Onion Canon, he attributes the idea of noir as a filmic mise en scène approach to portraiture.
