Dollar Portrait
Matthew Perino (in person) - 2007, 5:00, 16mm, Boulder, CO, US
A cinematic portrait abstracting and exploiting the familiar and minute, graphic patterns of American currency, allowing it to be seen in an unfamiliar way. A photographic counterfeit, it operates through pulsing shades of green, rhythmic patterns, and changing orientations illustrating an intense, fleeting ephemeral quality.
