Repeat Photography and the Albedo Effect
Repeat Photography and the Albedo Effect (2008, 8:12, sound, b&w, 16mm to digital) intermixes unlikely suspects to reflect upon the impact of global warming on glaciers. Boxing scenes from Martin Scorsese's Raging Bull are re-shot with a Bolex 16mm camera and then hand processed and juxtaposed against National Public Radio (NPR) reportage and British artist Katie Paterson's audio project.
Part 1 of Flicker On Off, a trilogy applying the idiom of experimental film and artist's video to big-budget movies in order to speak about world affairs in what could be described as an alternate essay format.
The Flicker On Off trilogy is made possible in part by residencies at Squeaky Wheel Media Arts Center and the Experimental Television Center, and by the Experimental Television CenterÂ’s Finishing Funds, which is supported by the Electronic Media and Film Program at the New York State Council on the Arts.
