Alison Nguyen took these photographs while Shona Masarin and I were shooting Ghost line on location in Kingston, NY.  The bottom photograph is a panorama created in-camera (on a Diana camera).

Dada ghost clown

Non-sequitor

Visual rhyming

Collage

Absurdity

nonsense 

taking turns looking backward

moving imperceptibly forward

riming history

scrambled body

picking moments out of a bag

portraits isolated

rupture

ghost time

land line

no-one on the other side

other side

what’s on the other side

is there time

is there anything

is there void

is there full or empty

is there light or shadow

aching for rewind

going back going back

cycle round

absurd ways to catch those moments

isolating body histories

glimpses

snapshots

turning dial and stopping on specific years

capturing visual data

and unrolling it out of my sleeve

archival process

data connections

going back over things

getting stuck

everything same value

scrolling through records

finding things

recording things

mapping things

playing things

cataloging things

storing things

uncovering things

what are the archival body actions?

Dada erases order, meaning

Does not attempt to reconcile opposing forces

In the silence – sound of

Throwing objects in the dark

Seeing how they resonate

Absurd foley art

Dada sound

Non-sequitor

Casper the friendly ghost - the missing shadow

Film still from Ghost line test film #2, by Shona Masarin.

A chance dot turned up on the first frame of our footage!  Reminds me of Oscar Schlemmer’s shape characters!

Test footage from the film project I am currently working on with experimental film artist, Shona Masarin.  Here, we were experimenting with tension by playing with different camera speeds in conjunction with movement and timing.  For more information about our project visit our Kickstarter project page and the film tab of this site!
