White Hole, composed of three 16mm projectors, explores the theme of disappearance, revealing through the choreographed movement of the camera the trajectories of disappearance and emission of matter in the contexts of black and white holes. During filming, the drone fell into the water, causing the footage to be lost. The remaining cache files were then printed onto 16mm film, physically translating the loss and residual traces of the digital image. The movement of the emitted material was subsequently recreated with a digital camera and printed onto 16mm film. Simultaneously, the filming location—an old mine—was captured in 16mm from a different perspective. The work highlights the interplay between various technical mediums and recording methods, while examining the materiality of space, technical constraints, and the interconnectedness of images.
