25297 Staged Instances

Found footage, North America, 1929. A home movie dissected.

A well-off family neatly captured memories during the unfolding of the Great Depression. No camera flops, crying children, or characters avoiding the camera’s eye. Just a series of well-staged edited instances. A home movie that makes you yearn for the outtakes. A home movie stripped from its staging rehearsals.

The staging and the staged. Three frame counters are superimposed on the found footage, each representing the staged, the intermediate, and, to the right, the staging—the black transient frame bridging into the next sequence. 25297 is the total number of frames.

Staging data, a technical term, refers to an intermediate storage area used for data processing during the extraction, transformation, and loading (ETL) process. The data staging area is located between the data source and the data destination. It’s the data we don’t see.

The book includes a QR code to watch the movie online.
