In an era of digitalisation of old material and abundant new digital imagery, EYE Filmmuseum in Amsterdam draws attention to the special qualities of celluloid films through this publication, which presents the work of Tacita Dean, João Maria Gusmão & Pedro Paiva, Rosa Barba and Luis Recorder & Sandra Gibson. Internationally renowned authors discuss the meaning of the use of analogue film in the work of these four artists, the magic of 16mm and 35mm film and the special apparatus needed to project it.
The feeling of celluloid films emerges everywhere throughout the book, through the use of different glossy and uncoated papers, varnished titles and occasionally graphic elements around the edges, reminiscent of the celluloid consistency. Smaller pages make it easier to navigate through the different sections and essays in the book. The overall feel of the publication is nostalgic but not retro, taking a contemporary approach to an outdated technique. A must-have for every film and art film lover.
