Why is this a film?

“What I did with the camera was, in a sense, to snap off shots as I circled them, and encompassed them. And then each of those shots, they’re layered up. I guess they’re photographs. But they live somehwere between documentary photography, with this moving around, and formal aesthetic – an abstract formal aesthetic. They’re holding a line between these two possibilities of what they are.”

- Kristan Horton, nominee for The Grange Prize 2010
