regular 8mm unsplit on single
16mm gauge R8 analytic projector
~6 mins, 2006
Performance-based and borne of the visual and mechanical potential of a regular 8mm analytic projector that projects a double-width image of unsplit 16mm gauge film. This is the first of two hand-processed pieces made for this projector (the second being loom). Edited entirely in-camera, the piece was was shot on outdated Kodachrome 40 and hand-processed in black and white, then left to lie, half buried, in the backyard where it was shot for a week. Originally commissioned for the PDX (Portland) Experimental & Documentary Film Festival, the film is an exploration of the still-standing last season dead plants mixed with the newly blooming of the current season, the backyard transformation embedded in and on the film's surface.
