Lynn Marie Kirby in Person. Kirby's new series investigates the American landscape by exposing 16mm film stock without a camera, absorbing the light of carefully chosen locations, then manipulating the resulting footage in a film-to-digital transfer machine. The results are beautiful, surprising works that retain resonances of the original sites and accidents of the filmmaking process, prompting reflections about local history, memory, and technology.
