Vertical Wide

The film presents a dense, static view of traffic from the Getty Center, creating a visual that resembles both a domestic window and an abstract painting. By flattening the space and removing narrative elements, Tan invites viewers to reconsider the cinematic experience. Vertical Wide is part of a trio of video works characterized by their dream-like quality, setting it apart from conventional storytelling.

As a physical media collector, the DVD format of Vertical Wide offers a tangible connection to this artistic exploration. The film's unique approach to light and composition makes it an intriguing piece for those interested in the intersection of art and cinema. With its focus on traffic and urban landscapes, this work may appeal to collectors who appreciate experimental films that challenge traditional narratives.
