The Unseen Seen is a series of macro photos of the original rolls of film from the The Deutsche Kinemathek archive, which is home over thirteen thousand film titles.
"The concept is to confront the viewer with the image of an object (filmrolls) and in doing so recall images from the spectator’s memory. By reading the movie title, I want to generate emotions and images from our memory.
Through the act of collecting and selecting the film rolls I noticed analogies between the colour and the shape of the rolls, and the content of the movies.
Besides the nostalgic connotation concerning the movie itself, there is the nostalgia concerned with the loss of a tradition. This project also deals with this loss - „the dying of film."
