In “Rose Hobart” (1936) Cornell utilizes and recontextualizes images of the actress Rose Hobart from the film “East of Borneo” (1931) (it can be watched here for free https://youtu.be/5MR5ew2lquE?si=8wsPk3ccgdLDwzG1)

During its 1936 debut at a New York City gallery audience member Salvador Dalí caused a disturbance when he leapt up, knocked over the projector and proclaimed that Joseph Cornell had “stolen [the film] from [his] subconscious!” “Rose Hobart” was not shown in public again until the 1960s when Cornell had it reprinted on rose-tinted filmstock

Joseph Cornell essentially had a big ol’ celebrity crush on Rose Hobart and after watching “East of Borneo” (1931) multiple times he purchased a 16mm print of the film and literally cut out shots featuring only Rose Hobart that he could watch over and over and over again. Think of this as the first ever “Fancam” video

Next we have a film that I have been dying to show y’all: “Rose Hobart” (1936). It’s a collage film created by assemblage artist Joseph Cornell that utilizes and recontextualizes images of the actress Rose Hobart from the film “East of Borneo” (1931) (which can be watched here for free https://youtu.be/5MR5ew2lquE?si=VmKhScd_EagD6TmK)
