re:elapses

An exploration of the liminal space between the still-image and the motion-picture. Not quite a screen-saver, not quite a single-channel video, not quite a still-image — these pieces exist on the fringe of the digital medium as evidence of its plasticity.

That’s the pretentious explanation.

But, really, I was mainly interested in creating cool dynamic photographs that moved. I was looking for a way to combine video practice with traditional photographic processing in order to create something new.

I always imagined the final form of these pieces on thin bezel 30 x 40 inch flat screens so that the subject was in scale with the viewer.

These were made in 2007.

I’m pretty sure the old guy on the bench was dead when I found him in a park in Midtown Manhattan.
