Overview

In 2003 Chris O'Neill spent a period of time in New York City where he shot several films on black and white 16mm film stock. One of these pieces was never completed. 15 years later, O'Neill went back to this unused footage and created an entirely different film using out-takes. The conventions of the narrative are discarded and the images - a mixture of a female face in close-up and tails and heads of film reels - become an exploration of the materiality of film.
