âher carnal longingsâ is an audiovisual meditation on the human body and the film medium at a time when the futures of both are in question. Using the âemulsion liftâ technique on 16mm film, sections of emulsion were lifted off, torn up or smudged, and then re-adhered. In combination with digital video technology, Pruska-Oldenhof creates an intricate analogue-digital weave that explores both the bodyâs and the filmâs surface. The film emulsion wrinkles, rips and dissolves - reminding us that it, like human flesh, is fragile and perishable.
