8mm found footage is taped to 16mm clear leader and re-filmed on the Optical Printer. An artifact from a monumental occasion is examined. A photographer stole a frame of my stolen film! What could be uncovered in this washed out frame? A study in exposure change to un-develop a memory.

Gravely Mistaken Identities (2015/16)
9 minutes, video
Gravely Mistaken Identities is a modified piece taken from a multi-media installation installed last August at Monte Vista Projects. Unfolding as a conversation between operatives of time and place, this film utilizes a charged “discussion” to pull movement from degrees of stillness while ushering stillness back into forms of hyper-active movement.

Olivia Ciummo
On the Evening (2014)
7 minutes, 16mm & video
Somewhere between the sky and ground is an anxious state of affairs—a tropical nighttime landscape, re-photographed historical sites, political boundaries and the elasticity of a dream state.

Invert and All That is Solid (2014)
