“Black is real sensation, even if it is produced by entire absence of light. The sensation of black is distinctly different from the lack of all sensation.” - Hermann von Helmholtz

every page of Vortäge und Reden by Hermann von Helmholtz has been painted out with black ink, however, text can still be read by holding the book at the appropriate angle in a light source.

three blank 8mm films turned 90º and projected onto three white monochrome paintings. the residue from the film making process creates the feeling of narrative without a clear image.

the 8mm film projected onto a static graphite drawing produces the effect of a slowly moving figure. the accompanying score reinforces the cinematic nature of the work.
