Direct animation and emulsion lifts.
“Lift Off” is a workshop examining material manipulations of 16mm film.  The workshop will focus  primarily on the emulsion lift and reticulation technique to explore degradation and decay.  An emulsion  lift is where film is immersed in a hot sodium carbonate solution, this causes the emulsion to reticulate  and separate from the films base.  Once separated the emulsion can be placed on a variety of separate  materials; including another piece of clear film.  This technique will combine direct animation with  photochemical manipulation; to present a cohesive survey of material investigations to workshop  participants. 

Taylor Dunne and Eric Stewart are artists currently living in Colorado (USA). They share an affinity for  16mm filmmaking, and use photochemical processes as a means to explore the interconnectedness of  time, history and the landscape. They are currently collaborating on a film investigating the history of  uranium mining and nuclear weapons testing in the American Southwest.
