Overview
An investigation into the transition in image-making, where light rays hit a sensitised emulsion. By using historic cameras with limited exposure values, it creates an ontological instance of motion blur (ontology being the causal connection between an event and its outcome). The resulting celluloid-based image is then transitioned through digital scanning and printing into an epistemological result; epistemology suggests that the final images are reliable informants of the properties of the photographic journey they have undergone.

The Brief
By appropriating elements of photography's evolution from 1888 (the invention of the Box Brownie) to contemporary digital practices, I aim to represent a journey of one hundred thirty-four years. The publication includes Raymond Bellour’s essay 'The Phantoms Due,' which explores the concept of the phantom and its significance in cinema. A phantom refers to a presence that is both visible and invisible, strengthening the theory of motion.
