In a radical departure from my accustomed landscape and portrait photography, this is a small but unexpected project resulting from too many hours of television and too much time to play with my photography gear. Using a projector and my favorite television show, it is possible to capture the overarching tonality of a program's scenes and mood as indicated by color and brightness. It's an attempt at using pre-existing visual media and re appropriating it to deconstruct the visual language it's presented in and study the color choices, screen elements, and compositional choices of the original cinematographers and directors. Small, 10-30 second slices of existing material allow for a static image of all present elements to be bundled together, and in the same way that multiple auditory sources can be ignored or attended the images can be separated into their own separate elements by the will and imagination of the viewer.
