Toxicité Radieuse, 2010-14


Gallery Gisèle Linder, installation view, various experimentation on the reverse side of expired Polaroid film, 10 x 8cm.


Project in part, sponsored by: Impossible Project, New York.

In the series Toxicité radieuse, a photograph is taken and then exposed to the sun. A portion of the front and the back are then separated, retaining the back part that contains the chemical developer and a trace of the instant photograph. The photograph is never fully developed and is in continual transformation.
