Video: Bridge Study (2718 Crossings), 2009 (Super-8mm, 2 minutes 45 seconds)
This film studies the structural symmetry of a pedestrian bridge, made by crossing it 2718 times. For each crossing, a single frame of super-8 was shot. The result is an impossible oscillating virtual journey, which puts the viewer in two different places at once.
Video: Collide-o-scope, 2010 (3 minutes 24 seconds, PAL 4:3)
Collide-o-scope is a short experimental video piece that mixes the aesthetic of the silent comedy era with a latest digital manipulation technique. The work was created in one take and one shot, using only one person to simultaneously film, act and direct. The following synopsis applies: ‘Using four super-8 cameras a man in a white room replicates himself. He and his clones have until the cartridges in the cameras run out before they disappear.’
