_In invite you to come closer._
We live in a fast-paced digital society. The world is getting flooded with images every day. We can reproduce them endlessly and we can change everything about it afterwards if we decide we want it differently. It is limitless.
The camera obscura has been around for hundreds of years. Used as a tool by scientist and artists like Leonardo Da Vinci and Johannes Vermeer. I decided to build my own ultra large camera obscura. Sitting inside, It is and intense experience to cut and put up the paper in the complete dark, only using touch as a reference. iIt takes time to get used to the dark and to immerse myself in the image which is projected inside the camera. Almost everything looks beautiful, with such detail.
I use the RA-4 color reversal process to develop my prints. It’s an experimental process; it’s about ‘control’ and ‘let go’ at the same time. So many elements play a part in the final outcome of the photograph. Once the photograph is developed nothing can be changed. One has to embrace the imperfection or let go.
The outcome is a unique image. The photo becomes object.
