Robert Frank’s Scrapbook Footage is currently showing at the Museum of Modern Art until mid-May 2025. Encompassing two floors of the Titus Galleries, the multi screen installation was created by Alex Bingham and Laura Israel. Robert Frank’s diaristic film and video footage, assembled as a collage of 8mm, 16mm, Sony Portapak, VHS and Hi 8 formats offers insight into his work through a moving image scrapbook with soundscape designed by David Lynch’s longtime collaborator Dean Hurley.  Alex Bingham and Laura Israel worked with curators Josh Siegel, Lucy Gallun and Kaitlin Booher in conjunction with the MoMA photography exhibition Life Dances On: Robert Frank in Conversation.

I want to explore what happens when you try to break down the boundaries between representation and perception. A captured moment begins to fragment, images deteriorate, memory fades .
