Chet
Installation view, 16mm film. 2017
Chet explores the memory of loved ones. The installation space is divided in half. On one side of a dividing wall, I loop a silent 16mm film. On the other side, a cellist performs. The film is a digital animation converted into 16mm and resembles a Muybridge study. The movement is a subject, sculpted to represent my Grandpa, holding a violin and preparing to play. The film cuts just before he begins to play. While watching the silent film, the viewer can hear the cellist perform through the wall.
