Black Snow

Book with 192 photos of a 3.2-second film clip of Haku Shimasaki performing a Cab Double 1080˚. In October 2022, Ari Marcopoulos traveled to Saas-Fee in Switzerland to work on his short film Butter. The film was shot on the glacier where a halfpipe was set up for professional snowboarders to kick off their competitive season. After completing the film, Ari asked a group of snowboarders to send him their favorite trick clips, which resulted in another film: Black Snow. He desaturated and inverted the clips so that the still images resembled black-and-white negatives, thus linking the relatively new technique of multichannel video to the beginnings of photography.
