In Full Measure
Combined programme

IFFR 2007
Curated by Mark McElhatten
‘Then, to the measure of the light vouchsafed, Shine’ (Wordsworth)
Darkness fell. Then the light broke, and the light wrote. What the Water Said. What the Tree Spoke. (‘he never heard that fleshless chant rise solemn in the tree…’) Tidings and tides. Breaking waves.

The sun and the planets race across the frame leaving traces, the ocean leaving watermarks, recordings on the surface. We are that surface. Engraved. Just like us, emulsions and electromagnetic fields are impressionable; see what they bring to mind and how it is measured.
