Marty y Doc — Back to the Future

Back to the Future is a film directed by Robert Zemeckis and released on July 3, 1985. Starring Michael J. Fox as Marty McFly and Christopher Lloyd as scientist Emmett “Doc” Brown, it tells the adventures of a teenager who accidentally travels from 1985 to 1955 in a DeLorean converted into a time machine. There he must intervene in his parents’ history to avoid altering his own existence. The film combines everyday objects from two periods with an imaginary technology capable of modifying time, making the DeLorean and its protagonists central references in popular science fiction.

The watercolor presents Marty and Doc together, retaining the watches, gestures and lightning associated with the films’ visual world. The paired portrait separates these recognizable details from a moving sequence and gives them a small, sustained presence on paper. It belongs to the series’ collection of cinematic images that have become part of a shared visual memory of technology and imagined futures.
