Klari Agar

Bachelor of Fine Arts (Photography)

Using film photography, I project 'markings' and mementos onto still images. I use 35mm film negatives, my own and from my family archive, to navigate ideas of nonlinear time, shared belonging and the motions of intimacy—focusing specifically on how these concepts impact our bodies and environments. I favour the medium of film photography for its chemical sensitivity as it responds directly to its local conditions. I warp and repurpose images with experimental substances, layering them on top of each other to produce landscapes that intervene with chronological ideas and represent different landmarks of belonging and mortality.
