Lunar Almanac
Malena Szlam Salazar CA, 2013, 4', 16 mm
Special Mention
Moving through landscapes and inhabiting landscapes, the moon is on a journey through magnetic spheres, influencing the subtle energies on Earth. The moon becomes “moons” as it oscillates within its own margins of size and shape. As an act of introspection and recollection, I take what I see and remove it from the ordinary, translating it out of the physical and into the psyche, then back again into the physical. Through single-frame and long-exposure superimpositions, the film assembles in series of short sequences shot in 16mm Ektachrome and hand-processed. The unaltered, in-camera edit segments shot at various nights gather over 4000 stills of multi-layered field views of the moon. (Malena Szlam)
