Stills from in-progress film. 35mm photographs taken, developed, and scanned by Connie Zheng.
This project is still in the very early stages and will likely be years in the making. The turnings of various wheels, as traced through a fig tree in my yard, critters coming and going, shadows growing long and short, cycles of living and dying right in one’s backyard. The archive of change is composed of many moments that were ordinary in their buildup, that perhaps did not seem to have meaning as they were happening, that were simply observed.
Early versions of this moving-image sequence were screened at 41 Ross (San Francisco, CA) and printed and hand-bound into an editioned flipbook for Real Time and Space (Oakland, CA).
Updates forthcoming.
