Black Snow (3.2 seconds 60 fps)

Book with 192 stills of a 3.2 seconds film clip of Haku Shimasaki performing a Cab Double 1080˚. In October 2022 Ari Marcopoulos went to Saas-Fee in Switzerland to work on his short film Butter. The film was shot on the glacier where a halfpipe was made for professional snowboarders to kick off their competitive season. After finishing the film Ari asked a group of snowboarders to send him their favourite clips of tricks which resulted in another film: Black Snow. He had desaturated and inverted the clips so the stills looked like black-and-white negatives, connecting the relatively new technique of multi-channel video to the beginnings of photography. In this process the clip by Haku Shimasaki stood out and has been made into this publication.  With text by Canon Georges LeMaire, Lucy Raven, and Ari Marcopoulos. Design: Roger Willems. Edition of 300 copies in a box with a risograph, signed and numbered by Ari Marcopoulos.
