'Manufactured (2018)’ presents a distillation of early cinematic principles and its intersection with early innovations pertinent to the Industrial Revolution through an assemblage of separate devices to showcase each principle. It is a handcrafted meditation that examines cinematic roots in the same industrial processes that shaped modern labor: repetition, fragmentation, and standardization.
As viewers move around the installation, the projected images shift, align, and dissolve—transforming cinematic space into a spatial, embodied experience. Light becomes both medium and product: intangible, looping, and shaped by one’s position within the system. The work invites reflection on how cinema itself has been both illusion and industry—a choreography of labor, vision, and mechanical time.
