Episode 247: Following Her Instincts

Terrastina puts her camera on a tripod and aims the viewfinder at a patch of wall. She darkens the room completely and holds the shutter open, then strikes a match and moves it in a pattern on the patch of wall. She closes the shutter, advances the film, and exposes another frame of flame drawing. She finishes the roll in this way, experimenting with different patterns. She tells Mazolli about her project. Are you going to develop the pictures? he asks. Yes, says Terrastina, after the film goes past its expiration date. That’ll make interesting colors in the prints.
