Johann Lurf’s maximalist, 35mm barrage of Hollywood studio logos, transforms the iconic corporate prelude to the big production-to-come into a sustained, stuttering spectacle in which fractured and fantastical worlds collide into a bombastic anti-climax.

Twelve Tales Told, Johann Lurf's maximalist, 35mm barrage of Hollywood studio logos, transforms these iconic corporate preludes to the big production-to-come into a sustained, stuttering spectacle in which fractured and fantastical worlds collide into a bombastic anticlimax. Like a riff on Jack Goldstein's looping Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer, 1975, Twelve Tales Told has an aggressive musicality that resonates with our sonic memory, and rather ingeniously creates desire for the dominion that is Hollywood.
