DESCRIPTION︎︎︎

Slightbox is a backlit display frame for a single 35mm film slide.

A photon takes about eight minutes to reach the Earth from the surface of the Sun. Photons slice through the layers of film, leaving a latent image revealed later by the chemical development process. A slide captures a moment in time, a miniature vignette of a briefly illuminated world. Can we ever capture time, hold it in our hands? What do we reveal when we shine a light on the past? What memories are best left in darkness?
