Cane

Cane — Plot

I took this photo in Uraga. I was carrying a tripod with an 8mm camera on it, so it was a selfie from behind. The tripod is always in the frame, so it has a strong presence. The film was then projected and each frame was re-shot at different zoom ratios, allowing viewers to alternate between looking at the entire screen and the center, frame by frame. In the second half, I re-photographed the screen so that the tilted landscape on the screen was returned to a horizontal position, expressing the idea that the landscape is stationary and it is the viewfinder that moves.
