description About

Inspired by Nan Goldin's 'Trees by the River, Munich' (1994), 'Positive Transparencies' comprises the tensions emerging from the destruction and reconstruction of 17 individual 35mm slides. This cinematic endeavor seeks to explore the methodologies employed in observing, scrutinizing, and transmuting the natural world through technological means. The pristine landscape of Hornby Island in British Columbia serves as the project's primary reference point, as it employs extensive analog deconstruction techniques to repurpose the island's scenic vistas. Live dye destructions captured on film are meticulously edited and layered to metamorphose into dynamic motion sequences and novel color palettes, thereby emulating a process of artistic disintegration.
