16mm and video installation
@ DivFuse

16mm loop and video projection. Site-specific installation @ DivFuse | June 2023

The moving bars of the gates outside DIVFUSE gallery were recorded on video and projected in black & white.
Onto 16mm black film, I scratched long straight lines into the emulsion and made two loops of different lengths. These are laced together through a single 16mm projector.
In the video projection, the interaction of moving and static bars of the gate creates unpredictable phasing patterns.

In the film projection, light penetrates through the two loops inviting chance meetings of the lines. Sometimes light passes through only one scratched line while blocked by the other black film, at other times two scratched lines meet and more light passes through. The two super-imposed images are never likely to repeat because of the different lengths of the film loops against the duration of the video, also looped.

Together they produce further incidental interactions of lines and light.’
