Slit Camera

SLIT CAMERA AND CITY. CHICAGO 1983 I started this work as an experiment with my film camera. I constructed a slit inside the camera, in front of the film, that would work as a shutter. In this way all the film was exposed, without single frames, for about one minute. In other words it is a handmade photofinish. For me is in between cinema and photography, there is movement and freezing the moment. There is movement and statics. Has a scientific feeling and approach, with the liric of dance. Time recording is expanded The black and white was shot in a studio, and is called “Slit camera”. “City”, in color, was shot downtown Chicago. All this in 1983.
