Sans Titre

Maïa Cybelle Carpenter is an experimental filmmaker and curator living in San Francisco.

My Works: Sans Titre

Optically printed, hand processed and painted, this film records the space of light. It attempts to remove the Form of abstraction from Matter and thus places the viewer
in a virtual temporo-space. The last minute of film is comprised of clear leader. After this, the projector remains running with no film passing through its gate for
30-60 seconds. This flickering white light completes the film’s projection.
