Description
In the screening room at Light Cone, the two artists meet to watch together, in chronological order, this protean and ever-expanding corpus. During the screening of these films, a wide-ranging discussion elucidates the making and aesthetic stakes of each one, becoming the raw material for this book. "I like working with the materiality of film; the object becomes a material that I transform using non-cinematographic tools. Like an explorer, I attack each new surface—found or donated films of all types, formats, and sources. I modify their textures, colors, and images by subjecting them to the reaction of different products, shaping a new hybrid filmic object through collage and recomposition, following a guiding thread suggested by the original sources."
