16mm film double projection with sound, 9:52 min/ 2:24 min
The 16 mm projection on the left consists of animated layers of original stencils reproduced from the archives of the Cinematheque Francaise in Paris. These were used to colour films before the invention of colour film and were in circulation until 1928. The 16 mm film projection on the right is a text written by the artist that contemplates on colour and animism. Both films are accompanied by sound compositions by Natalia Dominguez Rangel that complement each other.
series of 6 cotton/ wool fabrics, 150 × 750 cm each
The woven cotton textiles reproduce nitrate celluloid filmstrips from early non-fiction films.The image sequences represent di!erent cloud-formations: promising steam clouds of industrial production and progress, raging and destructive carbon-black clouds from burning oil-pits and mythical clouds disclosing subterranean, volcanic and hydro-volcanic activity in colonial land. By translating the filmic image-sequences into haptic textile form, the intimate relationship between fragmented industrial time of serial production and fractured filmic time becomes apparent.
