In June 2023, I spent 2 weeks at Tofte Lake Center in Ely, MN as part of
their National Emerging Artist Residency. I created a series of
experimental videos, photos, and cyanotypes exploring the ways different
modes of image document space and time. I played with exposure times,
focal lengths, movement, and lighting. How does altering these settings
change how the camera interprets the environment? How does a photo of
the same object manifest differently digitally, on film, and on paper?
How does an experimental approach reveal something about time, space,
and the act of image-making that a traditional approach does not?
Brackish is a short essay film that examines issues of memory and image-making through various camera sources, editing, voice over, and expressionistic sound design. Edited after the residency in my home in Minneapolis, the experience of memory and recall is juxtaposed with the experience of shooting the footage.
