The artist sings the song of the same name, performed by Judy Garland in the 1939 film \u003cem\u003eThe Wizard of Oz\u003c/em\u003e, and makes it sadder by slowing it down. By inverting the image during post-production, the work manages to turn the original lovely nature of the excerpt into something monstrous. Although \u003cem\u003eOver the Rainbow\u003c/em\u003e was made while the artist was still a student, the work contains several seeds of interest that run throughout her subsequent body of work. For example, the idea of picking out images from popular culture, sampling them, distorting them and making them her own, giving the seemingly familiar images an alienating effect, is also applied in works such as \u003cem\u003eKarl Lagerfeld Bean Counter\u003c/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eLuke Perry (as lynchpin)\u003c/em\u003e. In addition to its status as an absolute classic, Hamilton is also interested in the fact that \u003cem\u003eThe Wizard of Oz\u003c/em\u003e embodies the transition from black and white to Technicolor imagery. Her fascination with film, music and the technology by which images are (re)produced, as well as her sensitivity to nostalgia, appear frequently in later work as well.\u003c/p\u003e\r\n"},{"locale":"nl","short_description":"","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eOver the Rainbow\u003c/em\u003e is het eerste videowerk van Anthea Hamilton. De kunstenaar zingt het gelijknamige nummer, gebracht door Judy Garland in de film \u003cem\u003eThe Wizard of Oz\u003c/em\u003e uit 1939, en maakt het droeviger door het te vertragen.

Hoewel \u003cem\u003eOver the Rainbow \u003c/em\u003ewerd gemaakt terwijl de kunstenaar nog studeerde, bevat het werk verschillende kiemen van interessegebieden die doorheen haar verdere oeuvre lopen. Zo wordt het idee om beelden uit de populaire cultuur uit te kiezen, te samplen, te vervormen en eigen te maken, waardoor de op het eerste zicht vertrouwde beelden een bevreemdend effect sorteren, ook toegepast in werken zoals \u003cem\u003eKarl Lagerfeld Bean Counter\u003c/em\u003e en \u003cem\u003eLuke Perry (as lynchpin)\u003c/em\u003e.
