A few aberrant frames from an abandoned home-movie purchased on e-Bay are digitally reworked to visualise film’s abandonment: articulated in the physical site and ocular sight of the filmstrip. Calling to its own structural substrate, Film is born from the artefact of the filmstrip: a stream of celluloid flows, the plasticity of the filmstrip digitally degenerates and images blur into abstraction leaving only an auratic trail in film’s attempt to free itself from former material constraints.
