Celluloid Dorothy

In this continuous video loop, Marco Brambilla presents a stylized close-up of a doe-eyed Dorothy  from The Wizard of Oz (1939) played by Judy Garland as she drifts into a dream like state. The interplay between light and shadow on the celluloid enhances the hypnotic rhythm, deepening the dreamlike quality. Layered visuals are made to blur the boundary between real and illusion, transforming Dorothy’s journey as an abstract homage to the golden age of filmmaking. In doing so, Brambilla invites viewers to experience Dorothy’s dream as both intimate and universal.
