In “Penumbra” the camera strategy, and shooting scheme, are rigidly determined by the film’s subject, a grid of off-white bathroom tiles. The work is formed as a continuously evolving image. In other words it has neither cuts nor dissolves, both of which affect the transition from one shot to another, but exists as a single fixed shot made with a static camera. “Penumbra” ‘s spatio-temporal grid structure parallels the structure of the film strip, which is similarly grid-like: spatial in its actual physical form, spatio-temporal in its manner of operation.
