Reversed darkroom photogram, laminated onto hammered Dibond and set into an aluminum frame. Elemental is a series produced in the darkroom using tin foil as both a sculpting and light-refracting tool. The process involves deforming the aluminum foil to create volume on a bidimensional surface.
A sheet of darkroom photo paper is then laid onto the surface of the foil. The light from the enlarger filters through the back of the paper, hitting the foil beneath and bouncing back onto the front (the photosensitive side) of the paper, imprinting the image of the foil’s volume, and becoming bidimensional cameraless photograph. That lost volume is later regained by pinching the paper and hammering the metal surface onto which the photograph is mounted.
Elemental is the result of an experimental practice exploring the metamorphosis of matter into space—from atomic particles splitting to ripples in water and vast landscapes.
