Shot entirely on 16mm black and white film using single frame
photography, 165708 employs in-camera techniques and chemica
l manipulation of processed film to produce an eidetic study of
temporal elasticity. Techniques include stop motion, time-lapse,
light painting, flicker, tinting, and toning. Combined with cycles of
alternating exposed frames, these methods imbue the work with
a rhythmic magnetism, apparent both in the tempo and the
aesthetic of the images. A dynamic original score by the acclaimed composer Graham Stewart accompanies the film.
