The Small Elegy projects address my feelings about the change in the use of 16mm film due to the advent of video and computers. The mechanical, tactile medium of film and the sharp, detailed, brilliant color, or vibrantly black and white, projected film grain image are no longer everyday experiences. Thousands of reels of film are on their way to the landfill and for a tiny part of them, these performances are the last appearance, the last exposure to the lamps of the projector and the eyes of the audience. The images are of different sizes and overlap. The reels repeat but the combination of imagery varies.
Sound comes from one of the projectors.
Energy is centered on an image of a child jumping and includes several loops containing motion and action, the essence of film.
