Art of the Ordinary 11




Old movie film canisters - the subject of Sarah Ritchie's Art of the Ordinary photo #11

Art of the Ordinary photo series 11. Before the movie industry transitioned to digital, films were shot on physical reels. During screenings, there was often an intermission – a brief break that allowed the audience to stretch their legs or grab more popcorn. Behind the scenes, this was also when a new reel of film would be loaded.


Today's Art of the Ordinary photo is a nod back to the days of film reels and film canisters. (Original image is shown below.)


Art of the Ordinary – the everyday, reimagined.
