  Milky Way, Scenes from the songs | 2013 - 2015

The movie Milky Way (Benedek Fliegauf, 2007) consists of ten scenes shot from fixed camera positions. Each etude is rooted in the traditional form of narrative landscape-painting, telling a short symbolic story. As an expansion of the classical landscape painting, the film uses vast number of still images to expand in time. Each chapter of the film was exposed to a printing plate with photo sensitive coating that are being used in the offset printing industry as the cliché of process. This material determines the image of the reproduction and from each plate more thousands of copies are produced. Removing these plates from their original environment I used them as potential screens of projection, creating these leached abstract landscapes that instead of the original narrative carry the potential of endless reproductions.
