Jump Cut is a group exhibition bringing together eleven international artists whose practices explore the porous boundary between cinema and painting. Far from mere illustration, the works on view revisit the cinematic image as a reservoir of memory, emotion, and cultural myth.
From Hitchcock’s suspense to Kubrick’s haunted interiors, from Lynch’s diners to Rohmer’s lakesides, the exhibition unfolds as a sequence of discontinuous fragments — as if the visitor were moving through the jump cuts of an imaginary film. Painting, embroidery, and pointillism become ways of replaying cinema, shifting its narratives, and bringing forth its atmospheres as living material.
Whether by reinterpreting iconic scenes (The Birds, The Shining, Scarface), revisiting domestic décors from Nancy Meyers to Jacques Tati, or evoking theater façades where Drive meets Blade Runner, the participating artists probe our collective cinephilia. Each work is a frame, a pause, an image suspended between narrative and memory.
Jump Cut thus proposes cinema not as projection, but as experience: fragmented, replayed, and reimagined on canvas.
