These stills are taken from Super 8 footage shot between New York City and New Haven in 2021, during the pandemic. I recorded these trips with the intention of remembering the often monotonous passages that would otherwise be forgotten. The results: a proof of existence and evidence of the passing of time from winter to spring. Pulling stills undoes the projector’s work which embeds the particular image in an encompassing, continuous motion. This project was an experiment in memory, knowing the Super 8’s nostalgic grain would influence a viewer’s impression of these moments, preserving and recasting these transitory hours from a loaded and voided time. The images’ unrevealing contents evoke the missing links between disparate images.
