ffffff, 2020
single-channel video installation
duration 2’ 55”
ffffff considers and subverts scientific visualization strategies, diagnosis practices, as well as the historical connotations of the camera as an empirical instrument, to create a video that complicates the imbued ideals of whiteness as equating to pureness and cleanliness.
Recording through a DSLR pinhole mechanism, the video captures the refractions of digitally projected hex code white (ffffff), finding hidden hues that arrise on the sensor.
The sonic accompaniment is comprised of sinewaves – considered to be the purest sound wave harmonically – that match the wavelength freqencies of the mutated colours. The dynamic sounds generated work to unsettle and recentre understandings of white as a troubling signifier of malignance – as is true with a cancer diagnosis and autoimmune diseases.
