LATITUDE MESH

Latitude Mesh is a 16mm film that puts different photosensitive emulsions into dialogue. Kodak Tri-X, Kodak 3378 high contrast film and Hayden’s own homemade emulsion, created manually, like a sort of modern-day alchemist. A photo emulsion is a light-sensitive colloid, usually made of silver halide crystals suspended in gelatin, used in film and photography to create an image when exposed to light. Hayden's homemade emulsion provides the main thrust of the work: the research into the work’s characteristics and possibilities. The film is structured by three concepts: the descent in photographic latitude from the most light-sensitive emulsion to the least, the descent in geographical latitude, filming from north to south, and a physical camera descent. Movement, photochemical sensitivity, and geography are all intertwined throughout the footage, accompanied by a self-produced soundscape. The images and music gradually degenerate into violent rhythms of disordered silver halides and distorted sounds.
