Made in December 2023 as part of the “Ways of Doing” initiative – a network and archive of ongoing collaborations and methodological practices developed by videographic scholar-makers Lucy Fife Donaldson, Colleen Laird, Dayna McLeod and Alison Peirse.

This video experiment is designed after the following prompt: Inspired by Catherine Grant and her work DISSOLVES OF PASSION, this videographic exercise focuses on how a specific transition is used in a media object and what the use of that technique might teach us or reveal about the work. Drawing on some of Grant’s other parameters used to create DISSOLVES OF PASSION, this exercise incorporates several other formal constraints: the maker must feature slow motion, use a colour filter, and commit an “act of vandalism” in relation to sound (Catherine Grant, “Dissolves of Passion: Materially Thinking through Editing in Videographic Compilation,” Aarhus Institute of Advanced Studies, November 10, 2023).
