blue (World / 2)

Overview

Carrying an 8mm camera fitted with a wide-angle lens and an ND filter, I descended the mountain while turning the bulb crank, performing long exposures along the way. With each step, the body swayed. That movement was inscribed onto the film through dappled sunlight filtering through the trees. The blue of the sky, the white of the clouds, and the green of the leaves merged and mixed directly on the film surface. This work marks the beginning of the “light drawing” series using 8mm film. While employing the methodology developed in the previous work Prominence, this piece moves away from its static approach. Instead, it embraces the unavoidable blur inherent in the process and incorporates it more actively, treating motion itself as a dynamic element of the image.
