Coppola has named Antonioni's Blow-Up as the model: a professional who records something he does not understand, a possible murder, and an obsession with replaying the evidence. Coppola swapped the photograph for an audio recording.

About the work

Blowup

A fashionable London photographer secretly photographs a couple in a park. Enlarging the pictures, he comes to believe he has captured a murder, but the evidence dissolves the more closely he looks.
