Style, as we read it
An editorial summary of the body of work by FilmAnalysis: interpretation, not historical record.
Photographs rephotographed, boiled, scratched and reprinted until they are mostly grain and chemistry. Back Yard (2012), Vertigo (2014) and Linger (2014) are the picture as a degraded signal: a body, a room, a light, barely surviving the process.
- Colour
- Mostly black and white; colour versions stained and shifted.
- Composition
- Barely legible fragments, close bodies, dark rooms.
- Light
- Flash, then destroyed in the darkroom.
- Tone
- Extreme contrast, blown highlights, chemical fog.
- Texture
- Massive grain, scratches, stains, blur.
- Mood
- Dissolving, nocturnal, visceral.
