2014 Sternberg Press Publication
His disorienting camera work recalls Hitchcock’s masterpiece Vertigo, and imbues the scenery with a sense of displacement, at once chilling and exhilarating.
This fourth publication in the series with Fogo Island Arts includes stunning color photographs of the installation plus reflections on Schmidt’s practice from leading writers. Jeff Derksen (Associate Professor of English, Simon Fraser University) traces the evolution of Schmidt’s house from homestead to nostalgic getaway cabin. Novelist Michael Turner’s fictional narrative follows an aspiring filmmaker whose discovery of the house is informed by a rich field of cinematic and literary references. Finally, a conversation between Jack Stanley and Schmidt provides insight into the artist’s practice.
