The work is the one-channel video projection onto the screen hung in the space. It is a fantastical representation of a journey through the air to specks of dust whirling in it. The journey becomes a pretext for deliberations on the nature of the light-sensitive image: its transience, sinking into oblivion, disintegration and imperfections, commented on by a female voice. As
one can read in Tadeusz Cyprian's photography handbook: '(Dust)
comes in everywhere, settling on the surface of film(...), gathering
in the recesses of a camera and in consequence, a negative is full of
white spots that require to be retouched.'
and
'Smoothing
out a curled print, removing spots and flaws from it through positive
retouch, cutting the edges properly and sticking on proper
construction paper – these are the stages a ready print must go
through to become a picture'.
