A lesson to us all...

More double exposure fodder for the Vivi's...

Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim + Fuji Velvia 100 + Cross Processed + Double Exposure.

Doubles with myself...(Autumn 2010 -Spring 2011)
I did not line up the film, nor take notes, nor plan the compositions. This roll of film and the Vivi it was in was abandoned and picked up again via St Ives, Bedruthan Steps & Bude in Cornwall, Rhosilli Bay & Worms Head in Wales, Westonbirt in Gloucestershire, Kilve in Somerset, various bits of London & Bristol, and finally - Barcelona & Sitges in Spain! So by the end of it I wasn't even sure if it was a double or triple exposure and just wanted to get it finished. (It's a double.)

The negatives were returned uncut as requested, but I did get lab scans. I have cropped where I feel it is most helpful to do so - the luck of the draw has meant there was very little (if any) frame overlaps on this roll, which made me very happy.

Fragrant catch!

Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim + Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim + Kodak Elite Chrome 100 + Cross Processing + Double Exposure.

Double Exposure Collaboration with the very lovely ξαβλ.

To be more specific, a film AND camera swap this time:

I used my Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim to shoot the first layer in St Ives in Cornwall. When the roll was finished, I rewound the film back to the beginning and handed the same Vivitar Ultra Wide & Slim camera (including the film) to ξαβλ, who then shot the second layer of the roll whilst in London. We did not collaborate regarding what specifically we might be shooting.

Montjuic's 'Magic Fountain' is quite a spectacle and what's more. it's free! At the moment, every Thursday, Friday, Saturday and Sunday from about 8pm - 11pm, the cascades on Montjuic are let loose to light up with colour and accompanying sound on a half hour cycle, drawing huge crowds...and just one or two photographers...

This was a moving projection from ceiling to floor, shot onto a light flooded wall through a kind of fine vertically corded screen, through which a wind machine was blowing. So the composition is me and the camera, choosing one moment, one boundary and one bit of the available sequence.

Shame on me. I had never been to Trieste nor had I heard of Magris or any of his writing.

He succeeded in his aim to make me address both in the future.

An accidental discovery, ventured into after emerging from the photography exhibition by Gervasio Sanchez.. Magris has (with his curators) put together a perfect antidote to that incredibly powerful exhibition, but without undermining either of them. No mean achievement. This was a wonderful, over the top, at times whimsical, often eccentric exhibition, but it didn't shy away from some of the more darker aspects of the history of Trieste.

Whilst I've learned something about a city and a writer that I didn't know much about, I've also experienced an exhibition that was truly multi-layered. Using moving images, projections, light boxes, audio material, installations in entire rooms (the River Danube for instance!), wind machines, photography, scrapbook style information and so on, Magris illustrates beautifully why it helps to not always get stuffy about gallery exhibitions, but to make them engaging, quirky and somewhat disarming through a variety of media.

No longer alone...
