Snapshots aren’t enough. We’d need the whole film of the trip in real time, including the unbearable heat and the music. We’d have to replay it all from end to end at home in a darkened room, rediscover the magic of the freeways and the distance and the ice-cold alcohol in the desert and the speed and live it all again on the video at home in real time ...

Jean Baudrillard, "America"

24000 turns snapshots into moving images, and then back into snapshots, enjoying the fool's errand of looking for any meaningful information about a country in photographs of that country, and playing in the interstices between still and moving images.

The project takes its name from the approximate number of frames in the six rolls of 16mm film from which the images are chosen. It is a response to the visual knowledge of the USA that we all enjoy - whether we've visited the country or not.

24000 will be published in 2019, with an essay by David Lewis Morris.
