By
8mm film, slow shutter exposure technique work. I continue a work series
by this technique from the 1990's.
It is aiming at the image work as "a drawing by the writing brush
of the light" with this technique.
Attach a ND filter to the camera 8mm, and lower the amount of light to
the lens, and do hand-operated crank photography with a slow shutter
in every 1 frame of from 1 second until about 2 seconds.
Create the image that a figure collapses by shaking it in the camera
intentionally in each frame in case of that.
It becomes the image which has the peculiar touch which only the whole
atmosphere was left in though details are lost when that is shown as
a motion picture.
This work was produced in "Dance Hakushu 2007".
It wanted to confine a feeling of the air there in the film, and took
pictures more than scenery itself.
I developt by myself using the spring water after the crank-up, and I
set a screen in the wood after the sunset and shown.
Shooting, developing, and screening. it was an interesting experience
to go in the same air of the same place.
An image has dualism.
It is a matter of optical that to express the meaning which a subject
itself has, and that and to do.
Though importance is placed on the latter, I intervene in this work
series to the automatic formation of the image by making "a shake" by
the photographer's body the component of the image actively.
I did like that, and tried to make the photographer himself who was separated
from the image world and whom it was melt into the image.
single-8 that support by Fuji film approaches an end.
But, 8mmfilm has the peculiar feel of material, beauty and freedom.
I think that what can be done by using this media occurs still abundantly
as well as the latest digital media. |
