Materia Obscura

Overview

This work is based on some excerpts of the film ""Instabile Materie"" which I realized in 1995. Sorce material were handprocessed 16mm film stripes which I covered with chemicals. In this so called ""chemograms"" the used substances mostly salts became moulding shapes. Years later I digitized parts of the film frame by frame in high resolution and started with the computer to slow down the speed just to analyse the sequence of events. So arose a morphology of the film emulsion with the embeded substances and a bizarre, strange world full of magic revealed. (Jürgen Reble)
