Sebastjan Henrickson works at a film lab in Toronto, and for one year made snapshots of his daily life with a disposable camera. A huge amount of separate frames, lovingly edited into an uplifting torrent of trivial but also precious details.

-
Trees of Syntax, Leaves of Axis
Marvellous, abstract, hand-processed film in which vision and sound converge in a perfect cadence. Hypnotic violin music by Malcolm Goldstein. -

Shots made in Togo, West Africa, and a film strip buried at the same site form the basis of this colourful treatment of film emulsion. -
Lumphini 2552
Photographs of twigs and leaves in Lumphini Park in Bangkok transform into organic patterns when projected as a film.
