End Rolls

2009, Singapore, 4x16mm and light sensitive microphones, colour, sound, 10 min.

This work focuses on light through the processes of 16mm film. One 16mm raw colour film roll was partially exposed to different levels of light such as candle, stove, fire, room light, etc. The idea partly derived from seeing the beginnings and endings of colour film, a few seconds of colour fluctuations before arriving at the real images. Live sound is extracted from the light of the projectors using photo-resistor microphones that feed on the densities of the light and produce sound from it.
