The film is an investigation into the perception of the way the photograph is a construction. The technique is a unique procedural process that looks at tracking data and reuses it on the image to reveal itself. Is there an inherent truth in the photographic surface, does something reside on its surface or below it? Does the simulation of the real puncture the pixels and reside there, can we drag it back, or does it lurk there. Breaking the flawless photographic emulsion, the reconstruction is bare bones and does not want to emulate a promise of the gloss of film. Tangents are created, is there an undercurrent that could be revealed?

Theo Taghol
Theo Tagholm is a London based artist and freelance moving image creator. Theo is an artist that investigates the surface of the photographic realm. Be it through film or photography he looks at the problematisation of the photographic depiction of the world. The thing of the photograph is of great interest – to see the thing that is the photo. Having trained as a painter Theo used photography to paint from, then discarding the paint use the photo as an object in itself. His video work looks at the act of looking, from his early work “The Persistence of Vision” (nominated for the Jerwood Moving Image Awards UK) we see all the traits learnt from life drawing, a questioning of the act of looking, how do we see as we move, how does two eyes complicate the photographic notion of the world. As we pass through space we look at things, we don’t scan blindly as a camera. We see, target, orientate and perceive objects.
