Tacita Dean - Simply Film

Dean exhibited a work titled Film in Turbine Hall of the Tate in 2011. There was no sound...simply images. A tall thin projection, Film is edged with spoked frame---it looks like a slice of film. A British artist, Dean is mourning the death of film as a viable media. She shot Film using 35mm and then hand edited it.  Says Dean: "This beautiful medium, which we invented 125 years ago, is about to go...How long have we got? I hope we've got a year left. It's that critical."
