He is about to begin a Postgraduate Diploma in Fine Art at Chelsea College of Art & Design.
Marczewski’s films are concerned with the constraints created by a camera’s limited perspective. He employs two-dimensional still images appropriated from the world of cinema in order to construct three-dimensional miniature sets. This use of reconstructed imagery results in his films becoming replicas of the original, yet strangely removed and distinct. 14.7 Metre Psycho is a redelivery of Hitchcock’s 1960 thriller; stills from the film have been reconstructed into a three-dimensional set, which has then been filmed with a long unedited tracking shot that gradually reveals its own making.
