PHOSPHENE PHANTASMAGORIA
Installation: 16mm transferred to digital file/ Silent / 1 min. / 2016
The storybook is closed, the lamp extinguished, the images of the day recede, yet before sleep takes hold bright lights dance and flicker behind the eyelid, as if projected onto a miniature screen. If you look closely interwoven in the small explosions of color are the fragmentary remains of nursery rhymes. Menacing, absurd, surreal. It is time for the phantoms... a moment when images stored in the unconscious return in bursts of biophotonic light to construct their own stories: playful yet disturbing revenants.
This work has been created from Victorian lantern slides made for children that were photographed onto 16mm which was subsequently buried, exhumed and scanned on a flatbed scanner.
