Rose Lowder: A Bouquet of 16mm

We present a program we’ve been talking about since the beginning of PSI, one which simply must be experienced on 16mm: an afternoon with films by Rose Lowder!

Our friends at Light Cone write, “Lowder concentrated on the different ways one can modify the graphic and photographic visual features of the image as it transforms in time. This work led her to compose the image in the camera, usually by interweaving the frames as the film strip passes the lens several times. This way of working is relatively meticulous and complex as it means recording a succession of images, frame by frame, in the camera, so that they appear simultaneously when seen projected on the screen.
