Felder 9.6

Overview

In contrast to Hochhaus, with Felder 9.6 I wanted to realize a creative solution in the smallest of spaces, and at the same time exercise complete control over the development process. For this purpose I first looked for a suitable motif; it should be devoid of emotional or physical meaning and should not represent any function or idea. But it should very well already have a process-like dynamic, which I then wanted to take up with my design and, so to speak, 'transform'. I made a wooden light box with a glass surface; I mounted a red light underneath and a graph paper template on the glass with precise graphic instructions for the positions of the filmstrip on the photostrip. I had calculated that I could move the 16mm film 12 times across the width of the 35mm format, each time shifting the optical soundtrack by 3mm.
