BOOKCASE

The idea for BOOKCASE came out of my desire to educate myself by creating a catalogue of film techniques I was attempting to distill the elements of film to a pure state by stripping away any meaning from the images to explore film as simply the masking and filtering of light For subject matter I shot things which had at one time or another struck a chord within me In doing so I realized that I was also creating a catalogue of my own memories I have always seen memories as discreet units of light not unlike books on a shelf BOOKCASE became not only an experiment in pure film but a reflection on the concept of memory as well In the convergence of these two ideas light is the common basic element TS
