Light in its many forms—solar, aurora borealis, from a projector, peaking through 16mm brackets—is the subject and material of Solar Storm. The film toggles between the scales of the granular and microscopic to the vast and planetary. United in this collage of found and re-animated footage, one finds: an analog countdown from the start of a film reel, sun spots, magnetic field disturbances, and an overheard conversation. The film is created using an ink-jet direct-on-film technique where the digital frame is printed directly onto recycled 16mm celluloid.
