Color in Motion 155: “Marley” alternative movie poster from artist Viktor Hertz
Bob Marley’s life is going to come to life in a way like never before with the release of the documentary Marley on the 20th of this month. The film is stunning on so many levels with director Kevin Macdonald giving the most authentic and texturally rich visual artifacts to tell the story of Bob. Our access to the Charles Aidkoff screening room in Beverely Hills gave us the perfect setting to understand and absorb the film, a cinematic experience that has yet to leave me. With only weeks away from the official public premier, there has been the launch of an alternative film poster for Marley created by artist Viktor Hertz. Based in Sweden, this young artist is a free lance specialist who really set the tone marvelously with his alternate poster design on the Marley movie. Included below is an excerpt from Viktor about the creation of this poster.
The idea behind the pictogram mosaic portrait, is to somehow show the complexity and all the different things that made the man behind the music. For example, I inserted 11 baby pictograms in the mosaic, depicting his 11 (official) kids, and also a football player and a gun chamber (depicting the two gun wounds he got). There is also a van (which I saw in the movie trailer, actually) hidden somewhere. – Viktor Hertz

Porter Records
2935 S. Fish Hatchery Rd, #414
Madison, WI 53711 / USA
Porter Records was born in 2005 out of a love for crate digging in the basements of record shops. Porter’s founder, Luke Mosling, has a talent for finding the obscure, beautiful and strange recordings that may have previously gone unheard by a larger audience. This talent started the reissue portion of the Porter Records catalog.
When doing reissues, Porter works hard at creating strong relationships with the original artists or their estates. This allows Porter to respect not only the original vision of the artist and their recordings, but also to respect the vision the artist has for the future. Porter’s goal is to make these reissues more widely known and recognized as important pieces of art within their respected genres.
Porter Records is more than a reissue label. Porter has over 40 releases by modern composers and performers that bring something special to the current day music tapestry. Each release is like a hidden jewel providing its own unique color and brilliance. Porter Records is very proud to have such talented artists and a diverse catalog of genres in a time when the music industry is pumping out replica after replica.
