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 stains & scratches accrued during processing become integral to the completed image. The blown out, inverted flare of the projector creates an additional layer of static. Material degradation serves to further diminish photographic fidelity. The result is a series of vignettes suspended between re-animation & stasis / appearance & disappearance.
