A Dialogue of Dissonance 2016

An aesthetic meditation on the technological incompatibilities of cinematic apparatus that engages the poetics of materiality. Light and projections mediated by a 16mm projector playing a ageing strip of stock film, are captured by a state-of-the-art video camera at various speeds and settings. Visual ‘disruptions’ that occur as these disparate media engage with each other, creates a ‘dialogue of dissonance’, blurring lines between the digital and analogic and between the pro-filmic and filmic. This film is from the series ‘Light Mediated: Eyes on Brakhage’ (2016).
