A new exhibition is about to open at Bottleneck Gallery in Brooklyn, featuring a ton of cinema tribute art. Titled 'Where is My Mind?' after the Pixies' song of the same name, this exhibition honors obscure films through a visual medium. Everything from Apocalypse Now to Predator can be found within this exhibition.

Each of the works featured is completely fan-made product, demonstrating the intense effects that films can have on their audiences. Indeed, the films featured in 'Where is My Mind?' have affected their audiences so much, that [tributary paintings and multimedia works](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/kennedy-yanko) have been released -- enough to create an [entire exhibition](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/art-in-motion-exhibition).

With this gallery, Bottleneck has taken a great step towards incorporating films into the artistic sphere. No longer are films seen as solely a means of entertainment; they are seen as artistic creations, with subtle messages, visually arresting elements and emotionally stirring themes.
