Wendy Richmond
March
2002
I asked a
friend how he would describe my work. He said,
"You're a director of single frame movies."
That struck me as accurate. Here's the process:
I set up a scene. Minimal is key: Very few props. Black, white and grey.
One or two characters who may or may not be human, may or may not be
me. I give a single-word direction like "Climb." "Lean."
"Hide." "Balance." "Release." "Spin."
My camera is on a tripod. I set the timer to release the shutter in
approximately five seconds, and I call for Action. Five seconds into
the scene, the camera takes a picture. We (me and/or the other characters)
repeat the scene, ten, maybe twenty times. Hopefully this is enough
to get the right combination of planning and serendipity.
Then I develop the film and select a "take." That becomes
the single frame movie. When I like two takes, I make double frame movies.
Wendy Richmond is the recipient of a Rockefeller Foundation
residency in Bellagio Italy, a LEF Foundation award, a National Endowment
for the Arts grant, and numerous art and design awards. Her photographs
have been exhibited in the United States and in Europe. Richmond is
the author of "Design & Technology: Erasing the Boundaries"
and her regular column "Design Culture" has appeared in Communication
Arts magazine since 1983. She is Lecturer on Education at Harvard Graduate
School of Education.
