To determine if an actor or actress is suitable for the role, a screen test is performed. The method could be a scene, an excerpt of selected lines and actions or a specific performance needed for the project.

Adam Kimmel‘s Screentest for Fall Winter 2009 Collection is a film and fashion project inspired from Andy Warhol’s Screen Tests from 1964-1966. Guests to the Warhol Factory would sit in front of a camera, keep still and told not to blink while the video is capturing them. Among the famous subjects were Gerard Malanga, Bob Dylan, Edie Sedgwick and Salvador Dali.

With Adam Kimmel‘s rendition, the Screentest project is a joint venture with Factory’s own Gerard Malanga. A three minute video, black and white film, no audio, headshot framed window and a single spotlight let the subject make their own unique subtle movements and reactions. The collaborative effort intertwines with numerous artists such as Aaron Bondaroff, Aaron Young, Adam McEwan, Alex Wiederin, Asako Kitaori, Buero New York, Christopher Bollen, Dan Colen, David Blaine, Francesco Clemente, George Herms, Gerard Malanga, Glenn Ligon, Glenn O’Brien, Jena Malone, Klaus Bisenbach, Kunle Martins, Leelee Sobieski, Leo Fitzpatrick, Lisa Rovneer, Michael Nevin, Nate Lowman, Neville Wakefield, Rita Ackermann, Ryan McGinley, Sabina Schreder, Slater Bradley and Willem Dafoe. Among many interesting clips are Jean Malone’s cute winks, Leelee Sobieski’s adorable laugh, Willem Dafoe’s calm reassurance and David Blaine’s contemplative state.

The Fall Winter 2009 Collection complements the Screentest project with Adam Kimmel‘s trademark utilitarian looks, full body portraits and classic Factory style attitude.
