Jeff Desom
Filmmaker Jeff Desom uses sound, light, cinematography, rhythm and editing as well as digital imaging and processing combined to create atmospherically charged fantastical short stories. The artist’s most renowned project to date, Rear Window Loop (2010), merges cinema and contemporary art, by collaging the original film’s principal sequences and side events into a singular panoramic view of the backyard, with the original plot remaining largely intact.
Jeff Desom (born 1984, Luxembourg) Desom’s first short film, The Plot Spoiler, 2006, was voted Best Short Film at the 2007 Luxembourg Film Awards. Desom and experimental pianist, Hauschka, collaborations include four music videos and a filmic live performance, Ghost Piano, 2010. Co-directing with David Altobelli, Desom released the noise rock band Health’s music video, Tears, 2012. For his reworking of Alfred Hitchcock’s Rear Window he earned the renowned 2012 Vimeo Award and a Golden Nica.
