What is Slide Film?
Slide Film is photographic film that can be processed to produce a positive transparent image that can then be projected onto a surface to view the image, rather than having a negative for printing

Eric Kessels ...
He is a Dutch artist, designer and curator with a particular interest in photography. Kessels used slide film in his '24 hours in photos' project, in which he chose a single day and printed the images from that day out. He then placed the photos in no particular order in a room where the photos reached floor to ceiling.

My Attempt at Abstract Slide Film ...
To create these slide films we used clear tape and slide film frames. To get the abstract effect on the tape, I collected things like hair, dust, dirt etc. onto it. I also added in some ink for some of my slide films to add a bit of colour. This was then placed into the frames and I cut the edges so that it could fit into the projector. I then was able to project my slide films onto a wall to see my final images.
After trying this I would like to try this again as I enjoyed trying to create different images and I liked how every image turned out differently from using the same technique so that no slide film was the same. |
