Christopher Lee’s portrayal of Dracula in Hammer Horror films became iconic for several reasons. Lee’s version of the character, debuting in Dracula (1958), broke away from the aristocratic elegance of earlier portrayals, notably Bela Lugosi’s, and introduced a darker, more intense vampire.

West German artist Natascha Sadr Haghighian (b. 1968)  investigates modes of perception and the politics of representation in an expansive conceptual practice that includes performance, writing, video, installation and online projects. She is particularly interested in the consumption of visual art – a field the artist identifies as a reflection of its wider socioeconomic context.
