An Hour of the Wolf: Nightmare Quadrangle
Old people call it “the hour of
the wolf.”
It’s the hour when most people die,
when most children are born.
Now is when nightmares come to us.
And if we’re awake....we’re afraid...
we’re afraid...
from Hour of the Wolf (1968) Ingmar Bergman
An Hour of the Wolf: Nightmare Quadrangle is a collection
of narrative sequences: Unease, Clipped, Sink and Vigil. Each
consists of juxtaposed images that create a travelogue of
the psyche.
As self-portraits combine with landscapes and still-lifes,
the nightmares in An Hour of the Wolf become both personal
and universal in nature. Each depicts our apprehensions, a
disquieting human situation, a period of unease. Each examines
the thoughts and fears that may haunt us during an "hour
of the wolf."
