' Through long-exposure techniques, each frame is stacked on top of each other—the sound is removed, and the totality of the film’s discourse is condensed into a single emotional imprint. The results are a stark contrast to MovieDNA, a graphic design project that composites every frame of a movie into a vertical composition, or Reddit’s collective attempt to reduce entire fims down into single blocks of color. The abstract frames of Shulman’s Fast Forward exhibition at the White Noise Gallery in Rome marry the intricate and muddy character of an expressionist painting with the stillness of a photograph.'
'Shulman’s work explores the technical mechanics and limitations of art-making. He says he can’t predict whether or not a film will produce an impactful image and that each of the films used in the exhibition were selected based on his own aesthetic precedents.'
