Shadowlands (Alternative photography processes)
26-30 October 2022 –––– Electro Studios Project Space. St Leonards-on-Sea
"This is an project exhibition about an alternative materiality incorporating mistake, analogue distortion, dirt dust and chemical inbalance. Failure is part of our potential outcome that we face as light-workers staring into the dark. The show brings together multiple interpretations of alternative process photography from a small selection of PhotoHastings artists and guests; portrait cyanotypes, pinholes, anthotype collage, chlorophyll prints, installation with projection, photograms, adapted polaroids, shadowgrams, work-in-progress, visual poetry and alternative chemicals especially those featuring organic materials" PHOTO HASTINGS
My contribution... Doctored Polaroids
The starting point was using Polaroids a method of making an instant record - like a catalogue of a museum’s artefacts. Then to pull them apart and “doctor” them by painting, scratching and so on thus creating a new visual memory. A darker, more shadowy, version of history.
