Stanley Kubrick
exhibition which goes through July 2011 at La Cinematheque francaise,
contains research documents, correspondences, scenarios, photos of film
shoots, costumes and accessories of his archives. Also an on line
exhibition site sets a contest for best graphic creations about Stanley
Kubrick’s movies. One of the explanations of the title Clockwork Orange
is, it is a metaphor as “…an organic entity, full of juice and sweetness and agreeable odour, being turned into an automaton.” according the
novel’s writer Burgess. A second possible meaning in the metaphor, it
is an application of mechanical laws to an organism, like a fruit, which
has color and sweetness.
Above illustrations contain visual symbolic layers that are open to personal reactions. For more “color me Kubrick”.
