Филмовата емулсия – пътуване във времето
The time-travelling of a film emulsion

Summary/Abstract: Experimental films abound in visual practices that use the motion picture film as an artistic expression by its right. The twentieth-century avant-garde cinema left a heritage of techniques – painting on and scratching the film emulsion, perforating, and gluing objects on it. The article displays various techniques developed by the experimental filmmaker Steven Woloshen. While integrating the abovementioned modes of artistic expression, Woloshen’s contribution to experimental (cinema) lies in his film destruction techniques. By rotting, boiling, and fermenting the film, Woloshen creates a kaleidoscope of abstract moving images. The author forms a new aesthetic, that of the damage.
