Documentary Short
Role: Creative / Director
Insight
In the modern world of art, integrity and process are often questioned.
Her process—researching and photographing lanscapes, cutting, layering and reassembling negatives—is extremely layered and time-consuming, using years of practical knowledge and a steady hand.
Idea
Create a visually rich, atmospheric short film that intimately follows Talmor’s artistic process.
By focusing on the physicality of her methods—cutting negatives, assembling fragments and enlarging images—the film visually parallels the layered complexity of her 'constructed landscapes'.
Execution
The documentary uses detailed, textural cinematography combined with reflective audio from Talmor’s interview.
Close-up shots of negatives being cut and assembled are paired with ambient studio sounds, like the hum of equipment and the slice of a scalpel, to immerse the viewer in her process. Intelligent lighting creates isolated pockets of focus within the studio, while experimental camera angles (such as looking through a viewfinder or above a lightbox) offer an intimate view of her meticulous work.
No one can question the process of her work or offer an "I could do that" response.
