napalm tests

Napalm Tests is a piece of handmade cinema exploring color & texture, nostalgia & decay, and just what those pilots opened up in the Mojave. The film is composed of various cameraless image-making techniques woven into found footage from home movies and military tests. Parts of the film were painted, bleached, scratched or burned. Others were exposed to chemicals and colored light before being hand processed.

Expired film stocks exposed in the Catskill mountains and hand-processed in salvaged chemistry become mercurial mirrors. Step by step, the delicate structures of silver and color dyes are dissolved with bleach, exalted with developers, and amalgamated with toners until the film reflects the mind looking back at it, learning to walk in two places at once.
