Jason Dee examines the complex renegotiation of cinematic time created when increasingly obsolete and decaying film-reels are transferred to digital formats. Are the personal/collective memories of previous eras rescued by this process, or reconfigured to fit today’s perceptual models? Films both reflect and outlive their times- when they also outlive the media that recorded and stored them, what do they become, what is lost, preserved or altered?
These issues are explored through installations that distort and loop old film scenes, creating new rhythms of absorption and distraction that reveal limbo worlds, caught between celluloid recordings of the past and a digitally viewed present.
