Flash

,Flash is a photographic series of still images made from found video footage shot as paparazzi follow a famous actor

exiting a building and entering their VIP car. Each time the flashes on the cameras go off, the harsh light over-exposes

the image, effectively canceling out the image captured by another’s equipment.

The results emphasize the conflict of competing media sources trying desperately to capture a precious moment yet

negating the functions of their own making. In the moments selected by Binschtok where this near erasure of the image

occurs, only traces of the actual event are revealed in a nebulous mist of light and shadow.‘
