Liquid Documents, 2014 | 2014
The vessels in the installation contain photographic images melted down into liquid form. These liquids are the result of removing millimetrical layers of surface off darkroom prints, subsequently bottled with little water. In time, the image melts down into color and, per the reaction of the chemicals, it continues changing and layering depending on light, temperature, and other unknown elements that pertain, and by choice remain, in the domain of alchemy.
