ABIDING (2019) Color 35mm Film - 2k Digitalized - 10bit 444 04:00min 25fps

Abiding is the work title of an animated 35mm strip-photograph taken during the first trimester. The video is part of the Eye on Art program "Disobedient Narratives" at the Eye Film Museum.

Synopsis (Short 111 words):

Abiding is a short experimental motion picture made of thousands of frames extracted from a single 35mm strip-photograph. Taken from a train window between Dordrecht and Rotterdam, the artist has pulled the film manually in a shutterless camera. Abiding is a poetical exploration of the coexistence of the animate with the inanimate. The piece works on two levels as a visual evocation of a body moving through space and time as well as a reflection on the medium of cinema and photography.
