The Process







After wondering around how to experiment with film in a way that could be or become a performative material which is able to evolve over time we come with the idea.

We are going to grow molds in 16mm film!



After recovering the wooden structure, that we are going to use to place our materials, with plastic foil for kitchen use, we can start pouring our ingredients.





1. Tomaten puree
2. Volle Yogurt (with blue food colorant)
3. Kookroom
4. Milk with green colorant




The wooden rail with the covered film needs to be covered with plastic around.




After one week some molds have grown on the film. We remove the film from the plastic where is quite stuck.


We clean the wood structure to place the film back, this time without the plastic. It needs more time! Nevertheless, it's very stinky!














One week later:









After one more week:

The ingredients are now completely dry and molds have grown even more. The film needs to be removed again from the mold rail.

It doesn't smell that bad anymore!

I have some doubts about the molds opacity, would the projectors light go through them?









After one more week we can start thinking on trying out the films for the first time!
The film holes are covered by mold, so we remake them by using some edged object.

Film is ready to be played in Eiki!





First try out was a great surprise:
