Transubstantiation Loops

About This Movie

Transubstantiation Loops is quite the enigma, really. A live performance captured through the lens of multi 16mm projectors creates a surreal experience that plays with perception. The collaboration with Sam Hamilton is fascinating, blending visual and sonic elements in a way that feels both organic and experimental. The original loops, derived from Campbell Farquhar's "5 Second Exposure," evoke a distinctive atmosphere that shifts with each screening, making it a unique piece of film art. The layering of projections and sounds creates an immersive environment that feels almost alive, morphing as it engages the audience's senses.

Transubstantiation Loops is quite scarce in physical formats, primarily surfacing in niche experimental film collections. Given its roots in live performance, securing a copy can be a challenge for collectors, especially since the original performances have evolved over time. There’s a sense of intrigue surrounding it—its experimental nature and the collaborative effort behind it attract a specific crowd. If you're into the practical effects and the melding of sound and visual art, this one definitely stands out.
