Joseph Talerico [b. 1994] is an American artist working in Queensland, Australia. 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 shipwreck salvage organizations, archeologists, and other expedition teams. Early 19th and 20th 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].
