Tape Film

5 minutes, 16mm, color, silent, 2007

Made as an experiment in hand-processing, the film cycles through five different film stocks and a variety of processing methods. The result created dimensional havoc in the images. The concept of inside and outside is troubled, and the act of enclosure creates a screen on which to project the filmmaker’s own image.
