The Frame series was produced in diverse contexts and locations, often in close proximity to powerful forces, and offers insights into Clemo’s creative processes and techniques. Clemo considers how particular environments, forces and natural phenomena are recorded, framed and processed, and questions the nature of abstraction versus realism, juxtaposing macro with micro, magnification against distance.
Clemo worked closely with slow-motion pioneers Vision Research in the filming of this edition, shooting on some of the best slow motion cameras ever made. He also teamed up with chemist Dr Jonathan Graham and photographer/film-maker Colin Gray.
