Eric Rondepierre: Between the Images
Eric Rondepierre isolates and enlarges black frames from films—unused, unsettling, incomprehensible shots that escape normal viewing. He reproduces them on cibachrome, multiplying these cinematic waste products into photograms that reclaim their power. His preferred subjects are characters caught, stunned, gagged, or wounded by the text.
