Motion Picture (Employees Leaving the Lumière Factory)

A conceptual reinterpretation of cinema's foundational moment, treating a historic frame as a musical score to be read and reconstructed through experimental darkroom technique.

In the darkroom, 50 unexposed film strips were laid across a surface, upon which a frame of "La sortie des ouvrier de l'usine Lumière" was projected. The stringing together of the individual developed sections make up the new film, which reads the original frame like a page from a musical score: within the strips from top to bottom and sequentially from left to right.
