Baryt 2.57 Book Dummy

In Baryt 2.57, I turn my attention to the production processes of analogue black and white photography and make them the subject of a photographic work. The darkroom becomes a place of taking and producing photographs at the same time. The tools, machines, utensils and, last but not least, chemicals flow into the photographic images, as are my personal objects. The otherwise invisible steps and processes that underlie the production of every analogue photograph are made visible. Latent intermediate results of darkroom work, such as film negatives or test strips, are thematised in the photographic image itself and provide an insight behind the scenes of image production. Especially today, in the era of AI, we are increasingly exposed to images whose production processes are becoming more and more opaque. In contrast, I want to produce photographs that always reveal their context of origin and thus make photography perceptible as a medium.
