Turboparalysis, 2014, is part of an ongoing investigation into lens-based media functioning in non-depictive, automatistic states. A single roll of 120 film captures the azure sky over Lower Manhattan—shot, rewound, and re-exposed to inscribe gestural marks onto each frame. The resulting images are scanned and subjected to iterative transformations—doubling, tripling, rotating, and inverting—until a latticework diamond composition materializes. This structure, balanced precariously on one of its corners, is then transferred to 8×10 film and printed by hand as a unique Ilfochrome, suspended between analog and digital realms. No two prints are identical.
