Abstract
“Moving Frame” is an experimental film and video project, allowing artists and theorists to produce work and participate in seminars, forums and screenings on an ongoing basis. Kossoff made three works for the project: “The Colour of Memory” (2006), “Essex Flâneur” (2006) and “3 Days (50 Years).” Kossoff’s work focuses on the differences and overlaps between film and digital video; how the perception of time and space can change through the manipulation of moving image material. Through the central issue of film as a sequence of photograms, the work interrogates how perceptions of the moving image are evolving and how the digital has now re-defined the idea of the photogram and the frame. “3 Days (50 Years)” uses the digital camera’s single frame button, capturing the disruption of history in a work about Poland. Through repetitious cutting, “Essex Flâneur” mechanically captures the rhythms of space. Re-colouring and reframing family footage, “The Colour of Memory” shows video as a memorial to time. Kossoff’s essay investigated the moving image as a desiring machine, which is fragmented under interrogation.
