JOANNA BYRNE<br />
Untitled (SE139159)<br />
Unique analogue film<br />
collage housed in custom<br />
lightbox<br />
60cm x 60 cm<br />
Analogue film collage made in<br />
collaboration with the Yorkshire landscape<br />
and sunlight, using locally foraged plants<br />
from Northcliffe Park, Shipley: a green lung<br />
in the otherwise air-polluted area where<br />
I live. It was created using two sustainable<br />
camera-less filmmaking techniques: the<br />
cyanotype - adapted for use with recycled<br />
celluloid; and phytography, an eco-film<br />
process that uses the natural chemical<br />
compounds in plants to print onto film.<br />
Both create unique, painterly photographic<br />
images which oscillate between figuration<br />
and abstraction. The film collage is also<br />
viewable as a unique piece of artist’s<br />
moving image, made up of 1,149 individual<br />
frames. This digital animation is included as<br />
part of the piece (scan QR code to preview<br />
the film).<br />
