INTRODUCTION

Extracted from film sequences that utilize continuous or visually unbroken views, each video focuses on how the technique of capturing the sequence plays a part in the making of the overall scene. Although highlighting this presence isn’t intentional as something to be taken note of for the purposes of the film, it establishes a continuity between the image and frame that holds the two in a fixed relationship in movement. Exaggerating the effect of these techniques, each video is altered to accentuate this movement— repurposing a more mechanical aspect of film making, intended to create a sense of being inside the scene, and making that previously indeterminable presence the generator of a nuanced formal language. 

As an additive manipulation, this approach uses superimposition, double exposure, digital leveling, and transparent screens to draw forth something more nebulous—-establishing an entirely new continuity through an exchange between the frame and image. Because these overlaps coexists in parallel with the original scene, the interaction creates a malleable space intertwined as constantly shifting form. In unyielding flux, this dynamic simultaneously builds and deconstructs, leaving impressions of this dialogue as reverberations of transformable matter.
