Broken Amulet
Broken Amulet is a 16MM handmade optically printed film and reel-to-reel sound installation by MassArt Film & Video MFA candidate Lauren Marie Dake.
This project explores the notion of lowering one’s defenses and allowing an internal “magic” to surface. This title is mostly informed by my process: I allowed this work to come to life joyously and intuitively—to spill out, without any feelings of self consciousness or images of a final product in mind.
Guided by the vivid colors of now-extinct Kodachrome film, warped low fidelity music, and the nostalgic and idyllic imagery of 1960’s home movies, this installation intends to perform the sensation of everyday magic encountered even after the dissolution of childhood fantasies.
Special thanks to Adam Savje for allowing me to explore the optical printer over the summer and experiment freely.
