'NOSFERATU (The Undead)' is a film installation by Venezuelan born, New York-based artist Javier Téllez that focuses on cinema and mental illness. Téllez’ film is inspired by Nosferatu, eine Symphonie des Grauens, the German expressionist masterpiece directed by FW Murnau in 1922. Téllez created the work in collaboration with people living with mental illness after a series of workshops that he conducted on the subjects of vampirism and the representation of psychiatric institutions in cinema.
