film synopsis

LIGHTMAGIC
"Movies arise out of magic"
Stanley Cavell.

Light Magic utilizes and examines one of the earliest photographic processes, the photogram. This technique combines science and art in order to record the process of transformation. Images created through this technique are traces of light that pass through objects leaving marks on the film surface.

"A luminous dance, strangely hypnotic and suggestive."
Marcus Robinson LIFT newsletter, Mar/Apr.2001
