CUE MARKS - CIGARETTE BURNS
Cue Marks or 'cigarette burns' are the artifact that signals to the projectionist that a film reel change is imminent; it enters furtively yet instantaneously and mostly at the top right of the frame.
The Cue Mark comes from film history, the machinery of cinema, the physical weight of the reel. It's a legacy, a relic. Today, films are digitized and transmitted on a cable. The Cue Mark has no longer reason to exist, but still is present, escaping the notice of the everyday viewer. Two episodes of 'Columbo' bring this mechanism vividly alive.
In 2012, we began working on a chrono-typology of the Cue Marks. We used this repertory to create new paintings, video installations and works in neon.
