Karissa Hahn

EFFIGY IN EMULSION is a study in exposure change to uncover/un-develop a stolen memory. The concept is conceived in the musing: who took the photograph that washed out a frame of this film? A hybridization of mediums and tools (8mm, 16mm, optical printer) are used to investigate the camera flash that washed out a frame in the hopes of uncovering a hidden emotion. A meditation on equipoise is addressed in the guided evolvement and retraction of light on the optical printer.
