Exposed Consciousness involves exposing a roll of 35mm film once a day, seven times a week, to express my stream of consciousness. The resulting layering of photos creates a multiple-exposure panoramic experience of my week melding together.

Director Statement

Exposed Consciousness contains three chapters. Every 35mm film strip represents one of my weeks during the spring of 2022. The three weeks are: A Typical Week, A Week in Portugal, and A Week That Fades.

To achieve this representation, I exposed a roll of 35mm film once a day, seven times a week, to express my stream of consciousness. The resulting layering of photos created a multiple-exposure panoramic experience of my week melding together. The first iteration of Exposed Consciousness involved 11-foot-long archival pigment prints. Now the project has evolved into an experimental short film inspired by Stan Brakhage's work.
