@24framesoftruth - The Flipbook Machine
2024
21cm x 13cm x 13cm
@24framesoftruth is an Instagram page and digital art work that explores the relationship between films, social media and perception. On social media platforms, films are often consumed as fragments. I go to the extreme and reduce film sequences into individual frames, then post them one by one on Instagram, the social media platform dedicated to still images. Making use of its interface, by scrolling through the profile page, the film stills are restored as moving images.
In the flipbook machine, the digital artwork takes on a physical form, evoking memory and charm of early cinema when films were brought to life by rotating the projector’s hand crank. It continues to play around with the illusion of motion while expanding dialogue around the nuances between still and moving images.
The flipbook machines were featured at Unresolve: Research Festival 24 at South London Gallery.
