Debra Paget is sad, lonely and can’t stop worrying. Will she ultimately have to face her own ghosts? The Dark, Debra references Michael Robinson’s The Dark, Krystle (2013) and develops a related narrative of a woman in a state of unrest and seclusion. Through digital editing and image modification, Debra Paget – cast in a supporting role in the original sample – is featured as the sole character. Part experimental fiction, part remake, supercut and music video, The Dark, Debra seeks to reveal the fixed concepts applied to Debra Paget’s Hollywood persona and to produce more ambiguous notions of identity, intention and subversion.
