Annie MacDonell

With I Heart Your Work, Annie will produce a series that grows from her interest in the relationship between still and moving images. To create her project, Annie will shoot several rolls of 16mm film. These film works will then be scanned to generate a series of still images from which she will create a unique framed collage work.

The still images will be layered within the frame in such a way as to reveal and obscure different moments from the film. But the full narrative will only be accessible within the film reel itself, which in most cases will never be seen.

Annie’s I Heart Your Work patrons receive both the framed photo work and the 16mm film fragment. Hers is a project in two parts: one is for easy display but not fully legible, the other, which tells the full story, is for more intimate review, rarely if ever properly seen.

An edition of 8, the framed wall piece measures approximately 10”x 14”, within a custom walnut frame, which includes a secret door and houses a 1/8 fragment of the 16mm film in a handmade archival box .
