Something Went Click
The origin story of my mother's struggle with manic-depression (aka bipolar disorder): the rural prairie in the 1950s, an old boys’ club of “deciders,” a puzzling disease about which little was known. I interviewed my mother in 2000, using a DV camera, but never managed to complete a piece I was satisfied with. After her death, I rephotographed a singular gesture from that video interview onto high-con film (Kodak 3378), then developed cyanotypes from and optically printed (including direct bi-packing with leaves) those sequences onto Kodak 50D.
