Ghost Frames

Ghost Frames
Thomas Glänzel for department Medientheorie

Thomas Glänzel’s Ghost Frames (2018) serves as a image template for the film coating on a display window of a Biedermeier house. The departure point for this photographic work is splicing tape fragments from an old 16 mm film. The tape chips, on which parts of the image information remained stuck in the glue, were placed on glass slides, sealed, and enlarged as negative prints. They exhibit grey shades, rips, and fraying. Figurative shapes only become perceptible when viewed from the distance.
