(co-produced with Lori Felker, Tara Nelson, Eileen Richardson) The title refers to the use of Super8 as an analog to a sun-dial - a time-piece that uses light as its source of display and interpretation. The parameters included four shooting “rounds” (specific days) with all four participants shooting more or less simultaneosly in their various locations (Boston, Chicago, Denver). The detailed parameters for each Round were determined by a single participant who then “directed” the shoot, notifying the group of the parameters of the shoot via either email or text a bit in advance of the start time, then texting the start time to all participants. Parameters: Round 1. Now. Within 15 minutes. Round 2. Now. Within 30 minutes. Capture the time of the space that you’re in. Round 3. Now. Within 20 minutes. Shoot who you are with. Round 4. Tomorrow morning, focus on your assigned motion: Slow, Circular, Diagonal, or Descending. The sixteen rolls of film are projected in a quad-screen arrangement, films shot on the same date projected simoultaneously, while their position (upper-left, lower left, etc.) in the quadrangle is randomly assigned.
