notes / stills
A 52 week film cycle shot with a vintage 35mm hand-cranked camera and processed entirely by hand. The project is a survey of essential human rituals that have not changed in thousands of years and the contemporary landscapes against which these rituals continue to be carried out. Loosely structured around the milestones reached during the first year of a child’s life, it is an examination of the human condition though the lens of 19th century technology.
