Grant Park Photosynthesis

Overview

Grant Park experiments with the process of photosynthesis and chlorophyll, which uses the sunlight to contact print 16mm image sequences onto leaves collected from the grant park area. The film illustrates the Grant Park landscape and the park's history through this photosynthesis process. The film sequence is of scenes I've filmed in the locations where I gathered the leaves as well sections of a photosynthesis educational film is also printed onto the leaves. The film negatives are contact printed on to the leaves utilizing the process and then each leaf image will be placed in sequence onto 16mm celluloid for projection.
