Private Project

NEAR DEAD

*The video is documentation of a live 16mm performance using a single film loop. Each performance invites a different artist to collaborate and perform a new live musical score -- the music in the video is from a prior performance and will not be a part of future performances - it is just an example of a prior musical score.*

A film that flashes your life before your eyes. An 8 second long blank 16mm film loop is manipulated via scratching and coloring while running through a projector, putting it in constant danger of breaking and ceasing. The projected manipulations transport the viewer through memory towards the brink of death. Approx. duration: 20 min.
