2008

A frame of my 8mm family film, by chance, catches in the projector and
begins to burn as it is being played. The man is the my grandfather who died
of a heart attack long before I was alive. This fragment of time is digitally
manipulated to loop back and forth, and the sound of the projector is slowed
down to an echoing repetition. The resulting short loop recalls an otherworldly
heartbeat and the deteriorating aesthetics of memory.
