By taking TRI-X black & white reversal 16mm film and capturing 900 different stills from NC-17 rated films through a 35mm photo camera and projecting the images at the standard cinematic frame rate of 24 frames per second, Freytag’s Pyramid of Climactic Light interrogates the relationship between the individual film frame and the audience’s perception of ideology projected from the relationship between each frame. The images that I selected were bodies of individuals in non-violent and sentimental acts of love and friendship.
