I am in no way anti-digital, I want to make that
perfectly clear. But I love film and I don't want to
lose my ability to make it and I think I probably
will.

Projected from a booth specially built into the
Turbine Hall bridge, Dean's Film is about the
specificity of the medium.

Her work, said Dean, is both an act of mourning
and an argument for the future. Simply called
Film, it is shot on 35mm and painstakingly edited
by her and her alone.

Tacita Dean: 'This beautiful medium, which we
invented 125 years ago, is about to go,' she said.
'How long have we got?'
Of being asked to occupy the Turbine Hall, Dean
said: 'I am not known for making works on a
spectacular scale, so I had to go somewhere I had
never been before. The Turbine Hall commission is
about the spectacular: there is no getting away
from that'.

'A silent movie, Film is a rejoinder to the digital
noise of the modern world. It recalls early cinema
and experiments with colour, cinema as art
abstraction and as home movie, structuralist film
and underground cinema'.
