Three - Nine 35mm

A 35mm slide projection and digital hologram installation was included in the Alternative Document exhibition at Project Space Plus, University of Lincoln, UK, for 28 days in 2016. Over that period, light from the projectors denatured the photographic emulsion on each of the slides. Originally opaque, with a clear line and rectangle – the dark background slowly turned pink, changing the outcome of the projected image over time. Through the visible changes, which took place over the course of the exhibition, the installation became an unintentional durational work. Here, the slides used are part of their own ‘filtration’, illuminated by the cold electronic light from the thin, inbuilt, electroluminescent panel. A self-contained series of tiny images previously hidden within the machines. As in the projector they intercepted light to form an image - in this case they become objects in their own right - bright rectangles made visible by 'electronic' light.
