- N.p.: N.p., 1994
N.p.: N.p., 1994. Collection of 17 vintage reference photographs taken on the set of the 1995 film by photographer Shade Rupe. Variously featured are director Abel Ferrara, actress Lili Taylor, cinematographer Ken Kelsch, screenwriter Nicholas St. John, and other cast and crew members, all photographed over the course of a single evening near Manhattan's Puck Building, Lafayette Street, an alley off Jersey Street, NYU, and Keith Haring's Pop Shop on Lafayette Street.
Struck in 2020 from Rupe's original negatives, these being the only existing prints. Full provenance available, with letter from Rupe stating “no other prints have ever, or will ever, be struck.” Stamp on verso of each photo crediting Rupe as photographer.
A conceptual, black-and-white reimagining of the vampire movie, about a philosophy graduate student who is forced to reconsider the nature of evil and humanity after succumbing to a vampire and developing an addiction to human blood.
Set and shot on location in Manhattan.
12 x 9 inches. Fine.
