Aberration of Light: Dark Chamber Disclosure

Double 35mm projector performance
Live audio: Olivia Block

Aberration of Light: Dark Chamber Disclosure is a live collaborative cinematic work that reflects and refracts the role of projectionist-as-performer in the standard theatrical projection of the 35mm changeover system. Two projectionists and a sound artist perform within the cinema theater to critically unmask the masked cinematic apparatus in a dazzling abstract play of sights and sounds. The dual-projection changeover system in which two identical 35mm projectors alternate back-and-forth in their restorative reassembly of feature-length films provides the theatrical platform and oblique precursor to historical movements in the field of expanded cinema.
