Frames and Leaves
Brett Kashmere / 2006 / 35mm / 3 minutes / colour / silent
Synopsis
35mm motion picture film bulk loaded into still cartridges and photographed through a 35mm SLR camera. The result is a pixelated effect reminiscent of Robert Breer’s single frame technique. Also a fall "tour film," spanning the Northeast, the Canadian prairies, Central New York, and points between, and a "leave-ing," cross-border exchange of place (and pace), feeling fugitive and elliptical.
Commissioned by Niagara Custom Lab, Toronto.
