Jimi Billingsley, Original Glossy Photograph, Celluloid Divinations, Signed
This original color photograph titled Celluloid Divinations was created in 2013 as part of the Mountain Drive-In College project, by conceptual artist Jimi Billingsley who explores the intersection of analog film and contemporary digital aesthetics. Featuring film stills of a couple locked in an intimate gaze, the piece captures cinematic tenderness while overlaying the imagery with graphic, barcode-like distortions that fragment and reframe the moment. The juxtaposition of emotion and abstraction evokes themes of memory, surveillance, and the impermanence of media. Rendered on glossy photographic film paper, the composition is structured in a grid, with alternating columns of sepia-toned frames and black-and-white linear interruptions. Vertical fissures in the film strips amplify the sense of archival decay and signal interference. A compelling example of Billingsley's conceptual language, this work carries strong collectible appeal for those interested in experimental media, film history, and glitch aesthetics. The piece is signed with Billingsley's distinctive AB monogram and inscribed with Film 2.3.3, 2013 and K.S.1 on the verso.
