Manifesto for Material Film
We remain unconcerned with optical prints.
Pigment binds to copy paper all the same.
Let the film disintegrate.
Better yet,
let it be consumed by anything which takes pleasure in the ingestion of such materials.
Watch as paper expands with hydrochloric acid,
bloats the belly,
transfers ink to the stomach lining.
Regurgitate the ruminated mass and stain the esophagus with tinted bile.
Expel the film and let the sun burn it.
If not,
shred the print and let a rodent burrow into it.
Let the animal live and die in the film.
Watch as paper becomes a repository for excrement,
a structure to enshroud the body
a bed to birth the rodents young.
Within the mouth,
between the nails,
images are ground into holographic units,
then willed into the necessary form.
It is these process’ by which we animate frames into a film.
