Overview
Poledna's 35mm work Substance, contemplates the material properties and frames of vision of a highly recognizable luxury commodity in a series of extremely close-range and slow tracking shots. A portrait as well as a moving-image still life of heritage-brand golden watch, the film’s modes of representation oscillate throughout thus undermining any stable point of view. The film’s sound is comprised of an re-edit, referring to the practice in popular music of distilling, extracting and repeating elements of an existing track in order to maximize its use value, typically for a dance setting.
