If Jack Kerouac wrote his legendary novel On the Road on a long paper scroll, why not do it on a long 35mm film roll as well?
By re-typing the complete book –with the use of 35mm black leader instead of paper on a typewriter– this project attempts, among other things, to convert Kerouac’s romantic rhythmic writing method onto a cold and mechanical transcription in order to give the work new possibilities and readings that, when projected at 24 frames a second, although they do emphasize Kerouac’s intentions of immediacy, they transform the text into illegible blotches of letters that demystify and question language at its most elemental levels.
