The subject of these photographs is the photographic process in itself. They are the result of intertwining the analog and digital photographic process. They exemplify how photographs can be altered into a different form and given another kind of purpose. How photographs are never truly fixed and in a constant stage of possible further alteration.

The title ”Fujicolor Crystal Archive” refers to the photographic paper with the same name manufactured by Fujifilm. It’s intended for use in the darkroom when making photographic prints. The pieces of paper seen in these images have been exposed to light, developed and fixed in an analog manner, taking the shape of photograms.

These photograms have then been torn into fragments. Mixed with other pieces of photograms and reassembled as temporary sculptures - in order to be illuminated by light once again and digitally photographed. What once was a flat 2-dimensional surface became a 3-dimensional object, and then returned to 2-dimensionality.
