Working individually and in collaboration as presstapes, Luis Recoder and Sandra Gibson explore the canvas of the filmstrip with the medium of light, manipulating both exposure and projection.

RIDE THE LIGHT
Luis Recoder & Sandra Gibson, USA, 2004, 16mm, colour, sound, c.60 min, multi-projection performance
ride the light is a program of live events for the multiplicity of film projection. the doubling, tripling, and sometimes quadrupling up of screens – in short, the dispersal of cinema – fragments the always already fragmented and in essence, redistributes the temporal distribution of temporality,
the doubling-up of the mechanical-spectacular releases our time machine from the bond of a manufactured ‘ticking away’. the sequential beat of the frame-work (of frame-upon-frame) is followed by the doppelganger to be reproduced not as reproduction of the same thing but as re-production of the dissimilar in simulation.
when twos, threes and fours converge there emerges a ricochet, a shimmer, a ghost. it is this ghosting that cinema pursues with its ‘persistence of vision’ only to erase it from vision – by thickening the still succession, the frame-work in what is called eidetics. ride the light broadens the network of streaks, raises the erasures, re-visions for cinema its indigenous persist-stance.
