A showcase of what film can do. Working with the limitations and improvising. Using a medium that is ‘about to die’ in an artwork is a statement on its own.
Tacita Dean, Green Ray
This project highlights how digital devices control our lives. The images we take define our memories, but this film proves that with analogue film you can capture something that a digital camera couldn’t.
Rosa Barba, Western Round Table
What I like about this project is that the projector becomes the center piece, instead of the image it projects.
Rosa Barba, Invisible Act
Creating a sculpture with the movement and light of the projector.
Gibson & Recorder, Light Spill
I like how simple, yet meaningful this artwork is. A projector drops it film on the ground as it projects, signifying the end of the medium.
Gibson & Recorder, Available Light
Dan Graham, Public Space/Two Audiences
Two rooms divided by a glass wall, with mirrors at the end of both rooms, creating an optical illusion. Audiences watch both themselves and the audience in the other room.
TECHNICAL
Spherical Mirror Projection
A technique to distort a projected image into multiple dimensions, creating a surrounding image.
Infinity Mirror
A simple technique to create the optical illusion op space.
Two-way Mirror Projection
Projecting on two-way-mirrors, which lets through some light, while at the same time reflects other light.
Developing 8mm
Looping 8mm
Using an 8mm projector means I either have to rewind the film all the time, or I have to alter the device so it can loop. I feel like I can only not loop it if this adds something to the project. Not looping means the rewinding becomes a ritual that's part of the exhibition.
