A short composition of women posing for skin tone and color slates
used in film leaders, surrounded in their natural habitat of
countdowns and end tones. With only a few frames of screen time, they
reveal some skin and the aesthetics of their day through film stocks
and fashions. Dating back to the 1940’s, Asian women were primarily
used to pose for slates raising racial bias, hence earning the name
“China Girls”, only later integrating Caucasian women in the
1960’s.

A fluorescent lit portrait of Manhattan taken two weeks after the attacks on the World Trade Center. Captured on film is a city in mourning and a state of paranoia. A greater will to continue on with solemn rituals of daily life and normality prevails.
