Tape
Tape is a common household item, frequently used as a packing material in the logistics industry. Inspired by the residue left when tape is torn from a package, the resulting patterns on the tape resemble images exposed on film.The tape also retains traces from the package during transportation.
From this perspective, a tape roll can be considered a fresh, unexposed film roll. An image is created when the tape is torn off. A standard packing tape roll, similar in size to IMAX film, could be scanned and exported as an IMAX-scale video.
In this work, a continuous 55-meter tape roll is translated into moving image. The roll was digitally scanned into 253 distinct sections and sequenced into an video, where the physical length of the tape dictates the exact duration of the film.
