logbook
16mm analytic projector performance,
25 mins, 2011
Using black and white film emulsions handmade and painted onto raw celluloid, LOGBOOK is a visual investigation and catalogue; traces of past life and moments passed, on a remote island mountain on the Pacific Northwest Coast of Canada. Filmed with a 1923 Cine-Kodak Model A--the first hand-cranked 16mm camera produced by Kodak--and presented live on a 16mm analytic projector. Frames are slowed, frozen, reversed and reprised in a study and interplay of surface and subject, where fleeting images crackle, tear and fold in on themselves to invoke the very silver nitrate of which they are made. |
