Photo of the continuous 35mm negative filmstrip. Given the difficulties of starting the film from the same point, for each of the four exposures of the entire film, the final frames are overlapping.
A cutout of the island of Manhattan rotated to make the avenue grid parallel to the horizon, placed on top of large letters spelling Manhattan. 3rd Avenue is highlighted in white and boxed by an orange dashed box, which is dublicated below made bigger so show a section of the cross streets, starting, not at the beginning of 3rd Ave, but at E15 Street and counting up to E125. Above a diagram of 3rd Ave, on the top shows how the first exposure of the film (35mm) was from E15 to E42 Street, the second E43 to E70, the third E71 to E97, the fourth E98 to E125. Below are four examples of the view at the cross streets. All are seen from 3rd Ave looking East down the middle of the street. In the corner of the photos, the street number is indicated. The photos are screenshots from Google Earth, from 2014, the year this project was done.
Diagram showing when you stand in the middle looking down the street, the typical layout will dictate that there will be buildings on either side, the street as a wedge below and the sky as on above, all meeting in the empty perspective point in the center. Above a diagrammatic layout of buildings, street, and sky, with small local adjustments fits more or less all the streets, making each photo similar in conceptual composition.
Diagram showing how the section of 3rd Ave is divided into the four exposure zones, then rolled around each other. This corresponds to the camera being landscape for exposure one, portrait (turned left) for exposure two, landscape (upside-down) for exposure three, porrait (turned right) for exposure four. Above a diagram showing the orientation of the camera during the 4 exposure zones, below the camera is an example of the street view, with framing shown in dashed lines, pulled out below. The photos shown as they appear on the film in the camera. Over a diagram showing that turning the camera 90 degrees between each exposure of the roll, will turn this conceptual view of the street around the center of the photograph.
Diagrams of my #process for making the 'Down The Street' #ExperimentalPhotography project using an #AutisticPerception to 'roll' up the street, producing a new view of the city, showing how different parts are interconnected. #ActuallyAutistic #35mm
