The Mirror Egg

Overview

To be shown as 16mm film or as longer expanded cinema performance with modified 16mm projector and live sound. Being home during lockdown inspired me to make this miniature sitcom set where every day something new happens; and to take the camera on walks. The absurd situations for the in inhabitants of the filmset and myself result in this layered stream of images. The middle part is an uncut 3 minute roll of film that was scripted like a program: A 4-bit binary code and a long heximal code, written on paper, were used for positioning, layering and repeating what was filmed on this 30 meter.
