Cameraless workshop- Variations on loops

workshop with Gaelle Rouard

This workshop is an attempt to explore the simplest way to do 16mm images, and to play with. Discovering and playing with movement and light, the true constituent elements of cinema, opens up an infinite world of rhythms and sensitive impressions. Dismantle conventional narrative mechanics (editing in the service of a narrative mold) to explore the foundations of cinematographic illusion with a primitive approach: the study of movement.

We will copy images using the flat printing technique, the idea is to do small amounts at a time, the length of a loop, and do again and again… from negative to positive to negative again, we’ll explore all the variation possible with the most simple chemistry available.

No camera, no light meter, just film, chemistry and light.
