The name of the artist I couldn't remember yesterday in class is Amie Siegel. Check out her work here!
she not only does photo, but is a film maker....shooting 16mm and HDR formats.
I really love her Black Moon/ Hole Punch works. Here's a taste for you!
Amie Siegel, Black Moon/Hole punch, #6, 2010
"The second element is a series of photographs, “Black Moon / Hole Punches”, derived from the hole punches, or black moons, typically cut by the motion picture laboratory into the first frame of action in film negative. Always left out of the final edited film, these hole punches appear in Siegel’s prints as imperfect black disks or voids cut out of film frames. They are evocative of lunar phases, yet strangely violent in their intercession into the otherwise smooth picture plane. As metaphors of the filmic endeavor itself, the set of images expose the film’s own production in a fragmentary manner, while re-capitulating its latent violence and re-use of aesthetic ruins." (from the essay on her website)
