In Gibson and Recoder's Light Spill, the artists use the base materials of cinema—a projector and celluloid—to examine light, space, and time. Seated in a gallery, a 16mm projector and a screen are setup. Without a take-up reel, the machine spills its contents onto the floor of the gallery, slowly accumulating throughout the run of the exhibition. Gibson and Recorder "recast the light mechanics of a peculiar estrangement of the medium. The art of cinema, yes, but more timely: the becoming cinema of art. That is the coming attraction."—Sandra Gibson & Luis Recoder
