Joseph Talerico [b. 1994] is an American artist working in Georgia, USA. Talerico served in the U.S. Air Force during Operation Enduring Freedom and Resolute Support before publicly documenting his work in the motion picture. The work is a derivative of written essays—collaborating with non-actors and the world’s leading archeologists, shipwreck salvage organizations, and other expedition teams. 17th and 19th century imaging techniques are exclusively used throughout with much of his early work being silent often with live musical accompaniment as well as hand crank 35mm projection from the Motiograph Model No. 1-A [Enterprise Optical Manufacturing Company, 1896].
