Bird (2021-2022)
The project features a series of images derived from a roll of hand-processed, 40 year old Super 8 film. The series is arranged in a sequence of triptychs that trace the movement of a bird in flight, submerged in static, as it moves across the photographic frame & disappears. The project is realised as a slideshow, zine publication, & artist book with a series of signed pigment prints.
Baryta Print 4x6 | Monochrome Pigment Ink
These frames, reconfigured in rough chronology, play on the tension between photographic stillness & cinematic movement. The material degradation accrued during processing & projections becomes integral to the final image, diminishing photographic fidelity. The result is a series of vignettes suspended between re-animation & stasis / appearance & disappearance.
