True Detective

2014–HBOCrime

Double-exposure portraits where the landscape is projected onto the people. Every season is reshot from scratch, so the titles change as completely as the cast does.

Season 1

106s

Elastic's own cut, hosted by the Cooper Hewitt design museum. Louisiana refineries and pipelines burned into the actors, cut to The Handsome Family's 'Far From Any Road'. Replaced a fan upload.

Season 2

105s

Elastic again, via Cooper Hewitt. Remade for California — freeway interchanges replace the refineries, with Leonard Cohen's 'Nevermind'. Replaced a fan upload.

Season 3

92s

Posted by Antibody, Patrick Clair's studio, who made every version of this sequence. The Ozarks season — the double exposures fill with woodland and cave rather than industry. This filled the one gap in the run.

Season 4

73s

Night Country moves the double exposures into permanent darkness — ice, aurora and breath projected onto the cast instead of landscape and industry.
