Wild Distortions of Space and Time
I'm now experimenting with the formal conventions of super 8mm film and its literal and figurative relationships with space and time. The flux of space and time through an individual's perception is particularly interesting to me, as is the 'self-ness' and physicality of celluloid to embody these fluctuations. Both the individual and the film stock bring idiosyncrasies to bear on perception that limit and define how they see (like, maybe, personal history is roughly equivalent to a film's ISO speed; or something like that; or, maybe, it's a stretch). To the end of building an idiosyncratic way for my super 8 to 'see', I've been shooting still frames with:
a: telephoto focal length
b: infinity focus distance
c: continuous f/stop of 4
Meaning, when projected, that each frame will be variously over or under exposed depending on the available light, and in or out of focus depending on the subjective distance of the camera to or from the subject. However, since each frame lasts for 1/18 of a second these fluctuations will hopefully blend into each other and transform themselves into some kind of other whole.
So, anyway, here are three works I've referenced among others, though I've been struggling to remember my lit theory days for help with some criticism:
