An exhibition text was written about the work by Rebecca A. Sheehan Ph.D. Professor of Cinema and Television Arts at California State University, Fullerton. - "Julie Orser’s Madeleine evokes the insatiable desire to possess an image that lies at the heart of both Hitchcock’s Vertigo and the cinephile’s experience. As Madeleine suggests, Vertigo’s cultivation of the uncanny through motifs of doubling and repetition are tied to the dynamics of longing, the search for the familiar and the encounter with the strange." more
