A video by Christian Marclay. A collage in which Michelangelo Antonioni's 1966 masterpiece Blow Up is overlaid with the soundtrack of Brian De Palma's 1981 thriller Blow Out, itself a homage to Antonioni. The images and soundtrack make a beautiful pair not least because of the fate shared by the films' protagonists. The photographer in Blow Up and the sound-effects specialist in Blow Out are both forced into forensic roles, as are the viewers of Up and Out who must use their wits to piece the images and sounds together.
