MITOSIS
03’12.16mm and video.
Mitosis explores the notions of film as a physical body. It makes a comparison with the biological mitosis where cells duplicate into the frames of the 16mm film.
On each frame or cells of the film is printed an image using the techniques of paint and scratch on film as well as letterpressing onto the 16mm film. Those images are intertwined with video shots of performers getting together and separating from each other underlying the emotional tension and making a parallel with the more abstract and textured images of the mitosis process.
