Between life and art that imitates it is a vague, more shadowy category - images that exist autonomously. Pygmalion's mythical sculpture marks perhaps the first such instance in Western art history of an image that exists on its own terms. This title traces the reverberations of Ovid's founding myth from ancient times through the advent of cinema.
