DEGRADATION #1, X-RAY: PART 2.


     GOVERNEMENT RADIATION

by James SCHNEIDER

2007 / 16 mm / coul / sonore / 3 min

For Government Radiation, the first step was to film the US Capitol on 100 feet of 16mm film (Kodak-7205, 250 ASA). Then, Using a process similar to Shroud of Security, the film was cut into 6 equal parts and passed through Government security X-Ray machines in Washington DC: 0, 4, 8, 16, 32, 64, and 128 times. The result is a gradual effacing of the image.
Sound by Violet (aka Jeff Surak).
