摄影乳剂是一种用于胶片的化学复合物,在光照下能够形成影像。阿涅斯的手工乳剂是本片的核心元素,经过她如同现代炼金术师般的精细制作。影片将多种乳剂置于对话之中:包括柯达Tri-X胶片、柯达3378高对比度胶片和阿涅斯的手工乳剂。结构上,影片由三种概念构成:从最灵敏的乳剂到最不灵敏的乳剂的曝光范围递减,从北向南的地理纬度递减,以及摄像机的物理下降。运动、光化敏感性与地理位置在影像中交织伴随,自制的声景为影片提供了背景。影像和音乐逐渐退化,最终呈现出无序的银卤化物和失真的音律,形成激烈的节奏。 Aphotographicemulsionisaphotosensitivechemicalcompoundusedinfilmtocreateanimagewhenexposedtolight.Agnès'artisanalemulsiondrivesthiswork,craftedwiththeprecisionofacontemporaryalchemist.
