Based on films of various eras and genres from La Strada (1954) to The Bourne Supremacy (2004), the series Fighting coalesces into one continuous, five-decade-long fighting scene. By imposing a uniform color scheme and omitting the original scenes’ backgrounds, the initially diverse imagery gains narrative cohesion. At the same time, the anonymous protagonists in their voided locations create an iconography of fighting that ranges from troubled men’s awkward shoving (Fubar) and clumsy fist fights (La Strada, The Wild One) through emotional, violent outbursts (East of Eden) and brute macho aggression (Django) to the precision of Matt Damon’s man-as-weapon in The Bourne Supremacy. The drawings provide a subjective iconographic compendium of male aggression, as well as a narrative of pure action; the whole story is about nothing but fighting, and fighting alone.
