“In Mastrovito’s NYsferatu the entirety of Nosferatu (1922) is re-drawn, frame by frame, by the artist and a team of twenty assistants. In the process, they created more than 35.000 drawings. Each background scene has been redrawn to set in the film in present day New York City, illustrated three times to replicate the eerie flickering shutter effect of early cinema. The artist, whose installations have captivated viewers throughout Europe and New York, aimed to create a summary of our times, a kind of ‘everybody’s biography’ using cinema as a popular language.” -Printed Matter
