BERLIN - NEW YORK: SUNDAY JPEG PALS

by Lilly GROTE & Katy MARTIN
2011-2020 / color / sound / 1 screen / 58' 00

Every Sunday, we email each other one photo, and the film unfolds in chapters, by year. Every photo is included - no revisions, no cuts. The images accumulate as a visual poem, and also as a record of two lives, in touch with each other across the distance.

The film soundscape is in itself a journey, as it swells and plays on events, big and small. Over the years, there’s a growing emotional depth – that of friendship expressed through an evolving visual language, a shared set of references and visual ideas.

Together, we’ve created a calendar, over time, and a sketchbook of weekly notes and observations. It’s the steadiness of it that gains over time, and the pleasure of making pictures as we go about our lives.
