Totem Pole – '67

2012 • Directed by

Nicky Hamlyn

"Totem Pole '67" was shot frame by frame using extension tubes between the lens and camera body of a 16mm Bolex. The physical form of the subject comes directly to determine the outcome: it is both subject and camera support, that is, part of the technology of which it is also the subject. It is both sculpture and film.
