FRENKEL DEFECTS
Edition II
a program by Kevin Rice (USA)
27 sept / h 7PM /
The photosensitive material is formed of a multitude of silver halide crystals, suspended in gelatin, without which we would not be able to record a latent image and amplify it accordingly in the reduction of the material.
These crystals are produced by the electrovalent bonding of silver ions and halogen cations (e.g. bromide, chloride, iodide, etc.) wherein the ions sequentially architect themselves into an electrically neutral, cubic lattice structure.
Of important note, however, is the apparent lack of photo sensitivity within a perfect, silver halide crystal. Rather, it appears that the crystals photo-mechanical properties rely on the formation of defects within the lattice — particularly, the Frenkel defect…
Frenkel Defects is an interstitial exploration of imperfection as documented through the celluloid-specific works of artist run film labs across the world. In this second edition, recent works from several North American film collectives and organizations will be featured, including Double Negative, Process Reversal, LOMAA, The Handmade Film Institute, Sight Unseen and more...
