Watching Night of the Living Dead
A new Blu-Ray project by Toronto artist Dave Dyment. Watching Night of the Living Dead reanimates the 1968 George Romero classic entirely using footage of characters from other films and television series watching the movie on TV or at the cinema. Dyment’s work collects these scenes and arranges them sequentially along a bed track of the original. The characters watching television will sometimes serve as surrogate zombies, staring blankly at the horror unfolding on their sets, but also mirror the protagonists in the original, where most of the plot exposition is delivered via a television news reader.
$20 ($25 w/shipping). Blu–Ray edition, 136 minutes, 1:1.5 aspect ratio, colour. 2018.
