Triptych (1997)

Triptych (1997) poster

An excursion into the world of hand-made film emulsion and an exposition of some formal possibilities of using three images side by side. A dancer's brief gesture is treated, repeated, and juxtaposed, becoming the fabric of visual construction that is less about representation than rhythm and time. Originally a work for three projectors, it is here composited onto a single strand of film.
