It's so true that actually moving images around in space changes your relationship to them—and their relationship to each other. Love how much you print your work.

I’ve started a small photo club here in Seoul, and I’m making 3 small prints for the attendees each time. It’s really cool to see everyone getting to spend time with each other’s work out in the open.

How do you print? Do you have a printer or pay for someone to print? Photography paper? I was thinking about printing but there's so many variables and I don't know what to do. Seems to be a great ideia printing a lot o "tiny" pictures like that

Hey Gustavo~ I actually made a whole video about this too if you’re interested.

In short I use a Canon imageProGraf Pro-500 (might be 1000 where you are) and relatively cheap luster paper by a brand called Durix.

But honestly if you’re just printing for reference and not exhibition or sale, I suggest a local print shop or a cheap Canon Selphy.

You ever see how Cloud Atlas was adapted from its book form and edited/sequenced to its film version with the index cards?

No I didn’t! There’s a lot of power in using image sequencing ideas in plotting out a narrative. A lot of my favorite films have images you’d never expect placed one after the other and that always elevates the film for me.

One of the first films I saw that really opened my mind to the possibilities of this was Pierrot Le Fou. It’s loaded with images that fit alongside the narrative but exceed it too.
