Temporal isomorphism and indexical relation between recording and reproduction. Film is used strictly as a light recording medium. I exposed 16mm raw film stock without a camera, by opening a film can and holding the film to the light of a site. This exposure encodes on the film both the light of the site and the performance of a gesture. These films are the result of a series of small “acts” that when projected function as documentations/translations of movement from space to time, meters to feet, photons to grain. While living in Paris, I mapped the contours of my apartment exposing film to the light of different rooms.
