Journal of a Wandering Among Seaweed

Journal of a Wandering Among Algae explores sustainable photography. Faced with resource fragility, this research uses macroalgae to create eco-friendly developers, handmade emulsions, and bioplastics, replacing toxic industrial processes.

Journal of a Wandering Among Seaweed questions the sustainability of photography. In the face of the growing fragility of our resources energy, chemistry, biodiversity it seems essential to reassess how we transmit photographic archives to future generations. This research revolves around macroalgae, exploring their spiritual and anthropological dimensions in order to develop a sustainable photographic practice. The project seeks to create alternative developers for analog film processing, while rethinking the entire workflow developer, stop bath, and fixer through an eco-conscious approach. The research also includes the production of handmade photosensitive emulsions and algae-based bioplastics capable of replacing industrial photographic supports.
