«Motorway Head»

– Filmed a stretch of motorway with a 35mm camera
– Selected sequences from the film and made a loop from them
– Made contact prints of alternate frames on photographic paper
– Made printing plates from 89 of these photographs
– Printed the plates on latex
– Used a film camera to shoot pictures of a blackened head with white lines stuck on it
– Selected three pieces that, together, formed a flowing sequence
– Enlarged them on photographic paper and traced through alternate images
– Enlarged the tracings to four different sizes on a photocopier
– From these enlargements drew on transparent foil some interior areas that matched the latex print
– Used the photocopier to copy the latex images continuously onto the interior areas
– Cut out the copied images and glued them to the collages
– Photographed each collage three times on 16mm film
– 490 prints = 1470 frames approx. 1 min.
– Made the whole into a loop again
