16mm film installation.

Part of a series of works using actions-across-frames, shot on Standard 8mm film and printed uncut on 16mm, thereby resulting in the 4 frames being visible within the projection frame. These films are a formal experiment with the material and medium.

The film was shot on the steps of Hackney Town Hall, London documenting a performed action of rolling camera tape down the steps. As the frames on the left are shot before those on the right, the potential movement from left into right is determined by chance.
