Almine Rech Presents Dustin Yellin's Short Film 'Goodnight Lamby' at Palazzo Diedo, Venice
The Facts
Almine Rech announced that Dustin Yellin's short film 'Goodnight Lamby' will screen at Palazzo Diedo – Berggruen Arts & Culture in Venice, Italy from September 6 to September 13, 2026. The film, which marks Yellin's first cinematic extension of his glass collage practice, stars his three-year-old daughter Zia alongside actors Paul Rudd and Chris Rock. It was produced by Darren Aronofsky and Justin A. Gonçalves through Primordial Soup and blends generative AI with collage-style animation. The short was an official selection at the 2026 Cannes Film Festival and will run in the Palazzo Diedo Black Box during the Venice Cinema Biennale.
The Signal
For Yellin, whose sculptural work has long been described as 'frozen cinema,' the film represents a strategic move into moving image, leveraging his established material vocabulary of glass, collage, and photography. The involvement of high-profile collaborators and a Cannes selection signals growing institutional and commercial interest in artists who bridge fine art and film. For collectors, Yellin's expansion into a new medium may increase demand for his existing sculptures, while the Venice Biennale overlay positions the screening as a major cultural event during one of the art world's busiest periods.
