Ās a continuation of work last year, I am focusing conceptually on the relationship between photography and cinema, trying to make sense of it all.
(more concept-based work for this on my research blog- www.emilyhlavac09.blogspot.com).
In parallel to this, i am exploring the use of film, manipulating the camera and image within the viewfinder. These particular images I took with a120 back holga,using 35mm film in order to expose the entire film, sprockets and all, to the light. It takes a bit of playing around, using rubber bands (or hair ties if you have no rubber bands like me) and cotton balls, plus a bit of electrical tape just to fit the smaller film size so that it winds on properly. As 35mm has no paper backing, the film counter window has to be covered, and film advance done by guesswork. Afterwards the camera has to be opened up in the dark, and film wound back into the original canister. So I was trying to create one seemless panoramic image, but ended up with the gaps between images getting bigger as the circumference of the takeup reel got bigger. Wasn't prepared for this! Next time i will reduce the amount of film advance with each image.
