Taupiri (2007)

Taupiri is an exercise in light and pixel manipulation. Using a photographic still of a constructed model cabbage tree and diorama, a custom-made filter was placed in front of a video camera lens and maneuvered to bend and shape the light entering into the camera. The end result is a clustered, kaleidoscope effect of pixels moving like a comet across the screen, and illuminating the original photographic image.
