Made with thread, chain, beads, tacks, hex nuts, bolts, steel eye pins, hooks, clasps, tracing paper, prints, IKEA paper measure, bobby pins, 35mm photographic film strip, 16mm film strips, nail polish, screenprint, mesh fabric and lace.

Painted, screenprinted, cut, stickered, and rayographed with thread, fabric, and metal tools, the filmstrip becomes itself a plastic doll to dress and undress in material. Inspired by Dadaist Man Ray’s classic short film “Le Retour à la raison”, that similarly featured silhouettes of screws and bolts, and by Annabel Nicolson’s performance “Reel Time” (1971), in which the artist ran film through a sewing machine as it was simultaneously being projected. Kazdal’s film updates the tactile film genre with today’s techniques, pairing it with an exhilarating soundscape that rings of absorbent discovery.
