Film & Form
2018 Risograph Prints on Paper 29.6cm x 40.6cm Edition of 100
from left to right: Perforations, Rote Bertha Geht Ohne Liebe Wandern, Film Gauges, Aspect Ratios
In his ongoing work series Film & Form, Johann Lurf seizes upon the different formats and technical specifications of analogue film material in order to make comparisons between them. He situates all forms that were ever produced adjacently, even the ones that did not succeed on the market. The precise 1:1 reproductions of the filmstrips have been realized as risograph prints. The four prints show the different filmstrips, the image sizes, the perforations, and the specially dyed material for the opening credits, combined with a certain color code for the sequence of film documents.
