THE REVOLUTION OF SUPER 8 UNIVERSE: A SELF-PORTRAIT BY REY PARLA


Brooklyn based artist/filmer Rey Parla' composes hand
painted abstract film palimpsests using super 8mm film.
Parla' creates layers upon celluloid with techniques of
scratching, rubbing strips together, spitting, cloth, water
and paint... to name a few). If you watch closely, you will
see Parla's self-portrait (still photograph) embeded into
the film.

It's such an amazing process and phenomenal work!
