Interlayers for Window
Luke Duncalfe >

-

Muscae Volitantes are the moving specks or threads that are often seen in front of our eyes, caused by dust and other fragments floating in the film, or a defect in the lens. In cinema they are the accidental dust and scratches that have spoiled the design of the final cut, an unintentional addition onto the surface of the filmic material itself.

As they are projected, the partition between the intentional and accidental image is negated. The two images merge in a single flattened plane. The presence of these new additions being neither a disturbance nor an obstruction, just a presence. [Muscae Volitantes, Luke Duncalfe]
