[Family In Their Living Room Watching Clint Eastwood on TV]
Neil Selkirk American, born England
Not on view
This image of a family cozily gathered in their living room for an evening of television (Clint Eastwood, to be precise) has an uncanny aura of foreboding, reminiscent of films by David Lynch or Alfred Hitchcock. The interior lights of this perfect suburban home cast a warm glow on the winter landscape, broadcasting the accoutrements of a modern consumer lifestyle into the cold, empty night. Although the viewer may feel like a prowler casing the site of a prospective robbery, the unnatural stillness suggests that the photographer has implicated us in a sinister game, the rules of which remain undisclosed.
