ABOUT THE FILMS:
SPECTRUM REVERSE SPECTRUM, 2014, Dir. Margaret Honda, 21 Mins, USA
SPECTRUM REVERSE SPECTRUM is a cameraless film made by exposing 70mm print stock to precisely calibrated colored light in a film printer, resulting in a uniform field of color with no frame lines. Moving gradually through the visible light spectrum from violet to red, then back to violet, the colors’ relative densities and durations follow those in the spectrum itself. Symmetrical in its construction, it is the same film shown starting from either end.
FORMAT: 70mm
EQUINOX, 2019, Dir. Margaret Honda, 21 Mins, USA
EQUINOX begins with a uniform field of black, then gradually moves through progressively lighter fields of gray until it reaches white, then reverses toward black. The film was made by exposing a standard roll of 70mm print stock to colored light in a contact printer. This work was conceived in 2013 as a companion piece to SPECTRUM REVERSE SPECTRUM. The material origins of both films, the equivalent of camera originals, are the timing tapes that control the lights in the printer.
FORMAT: 70mm
