My final outcome of P3 came in the form of a short film, created as a tribute to Kensuke Hosoya, the photographer of the original image I had been working with. Combining our two images – Kensuke’s ‘perfect’ original and my imitation – I cut out the poster I had printed into individual pixels. The film is a timelapse of me further translating the image by recreating it physically, piece by piece. In the last second of the film, I add a cherry and whipped cream to the final assemblage, in reference to my earlier experiments physically recreating the image.
I had wanted to share my work with Kensuke, but wasn’t able to reach them online or via email. Instead, I composed a fictional email addressed to them and narrated it during the video.
