inter-medium

Running 3m, inter-medium (1987) is a film in the 123movies catalog. Kawaguchi Hajime directs. The Xerox photocopies of the source material were reproduced through approximately five generations. Through two vectors movement through space and movement across generations of copies the work attempts to expose what exists between the image and ourselves. The original motivation behind the piece was the desire to create a perspective-shifting photographic animation using Xerox copies. However, during the production process, the theme gradually shifted toward depicting “something invisible between the subject and the object.”
