The Conclusion of the Three Colors Trilogy

‘Red’, the last of the Three Colors Trilogy silkscreen poster, will be on sale 3pm UK time from @blackdragonpress​ tomorrow (Friday 3/17), and you can still pre-order the whole set before that.

“[on Red] This is a film about communication that disappears. We have better and better tools and less and less communication with each other. We only exchange information.”— Krzysztof Kieślowski

Here’s a snippet from my interview with Chris from the Eviltender on ‘Red’:

‘Red’ is actually my favorite film from the trilogy. It may have fewer visual hallmarks but I think it has a very clear thread running through it — the human connection, whether it’s visible or hidden, and that’s what I decided to focus on.

Unlike the swimming pool in ‘Blue‘ and Poland in ‘White,’ there’s no significant locations in ‘Red’ that plays an active and symbolic role in the film’s storytelling. The locations in ‘Red’ are merely stages for the human dramas, the story can happen in another place and still remain intact. Therefore ‘Red’ differs from the other two posters that its characters are not framed in an actual space, but rather tangled in a web of telecommunication cables, which was shown in the very beginning of the film, as telephones connects and brings all of them together. 

Big thanks to James Park from @blackdragonpress for having me on such a cool project and all the creative freedom, also kudos to Whiteduck silkscreen for always doing a marvelous job with these prints.
