Art Prize 2011 / Blue Skies
Title: Blue Skies / Tanner Wolfe, artist
Art form: 2-D
Medium: 35mm transparency/slide film
Year created: 2011 Tanner describes his offering:
Description of work: This piece is entwined with my work as a cinematographer. In filmmaking, the filmmakers must place each image next to each other in a way that drives the story forward. Each of these images leans into the next, promoting it and supporting it. My goal for this image was to be freed (a little) from the constraints of this rigid narrative process, but I also created for myself a very rigorous process in the physical creation of the image. This piece was created by using three 35mm still cameras, shooting in tandem. To document an image I shot 2 to 4 frames with the top camera then the same amount with the middle camera and so on for the bottom camera. Each frame in this piece was pre-visualized methodically, so that these pieces would all work as a whole. This process meant that 6 rolls of 36 exposure film all had to be shot, so that they could be aligned later to create the larger images. This piece deals with hope, but also with the crowding fears that shut out possibility.
