Film

I loved this so much.

"Film is time made manifest: time as physical length - 24 frames per second, 16 frames in a 35mm foot. It is still images beguiled into movement by movement and is eternally magical. The time in my films is the time of film itself. I cut my films on a Steenbeck cutting table. I always work alone. I physically splice the print and stick it together with tape. It is these days and weeks of solitary and concentrated labour which are at the heart of my creative process, and how I mould and make the films. Film is my working material and I need the stuff of film like a painter needs the stuff of paint."
Tacita Dean

there is a ritualistic essence in hands-on work, which translates in a quality - I wouldn't be able to tell you why that quality speaks to me so loudly. maybe because it makes me think of all the works that I love, and how they all carry that hidden essence, and how that essence constitutes an invisible tie between people, like a religion.
