Plate 19-21
Ryusuke Ito JP, 2003, 6', 16 mmIn order to investigate the necessity of film as a medium for moving images, I have focused on its materiality. First, I created a collage with found footage of various formats. This collage, a montage that exists as an object, lets the light go through its surface. I then used it as “the original plate” and repeated the process of contact printing on a film including the optical soundtrack, thus emphasizing the accidental nature of placement of perforations and exposure, as well as the image as “sound”. The result is what I call “the image print”, that is, using the moving images as the material for the print just like a piece of wood is for a wood cut print. (Ryusuke Ito)
