Installation with 35mm slides, 100 color slide photographs of other people’s guns, 35 mm slide projector.
Installation Dimensions variable
2016-ongoing
An ongoing series of collected photographs of other people’s guns. Each owner was visited in their home by the artist where she photographed their gun(s) in an overhead, down-the-barrel point of view of herself. The images are collected on 35mm slide film, and presented in an installation using a single automatic slide projector.
Like film, DeFelice uses the slides as a physical document. Typically used in either intimate, theatrical, or inquisitorial ways, and now an outdated past time, slide projection can be perceived as a benign visual, with a “show-me” kind of reference. There is alluding to outdated technology representing outdated laws. Embracing the analog mechanisms autonomously clicking, DeFelice aims for a subjective approach to authority, fear, memory, and the turntable social practice elements of the work. The result is an increasing collection of debatably aggressive images, as the work encompasses many relating factors still open to question, comparison, and experimentation.
