I cut several Super-8 films that I had previously made into short strips. I then altered them via handcraft: I sewed bits of fabric onto them, and painted them, and cut some of them in half vertically in order to sew mismatched halves together.
I used all of these film pieces in a performance, which took place in 2003 at the Dirt Palace’s Movies with Live Soundtrack festival. I sat on the floor, within the crowd, and fed strips of film into a Super 8 projector one by one. Live video of my hands was projected next to the film. The soundtrack was simply the sound of the film projector's motor.
This video is documentation of the performance, and shows what the audience saw.
From 2003-2005, I made several small quilts from the film I used in the performance. These were my first film quilts.
