Boy On Picnic Bench

Patient's Copy [2019]

(10 mins) - Watch On Vimeo

A hand-made reflection on the underconscious and on the illustration of ideas on plastic. 

This collage film comes about after the discovery, in my university office, of a thousand overhead transparencies used for teaching biology. A chemically induced gaze looks out over this archive while a light shines down on obsolete treasures, buried ideologies and the science of life. 

Patient's Copy focuses on the capacity of these acetate transparencies to not simply allow light to pass through them, but also to allow light to reflect off them, suggesting a new function for fluorescent forms that have been excavated from their pedagogical and technological moment.
