Lampoon/ Transition – an attempt to make daily life interesting again
«The series was shot exactly one year after the first lockdown in the same flat I lived it in» reflections on Alexandre Haefeli’s photoshoot
Man Ray’s photograms of the Twenties were a technical study in the materiality of photo paper. I built a basic darkroom in my bathroom with cheap construction material. Along with fashion items, I incorporated found objects from my home, limiting myself to my confinement. The whole process felt very scientific like I was a chemist. This impacted my sense of composition which became more calculated and rigid. I studied how we experience incandescent light through its interaction with objects. A photogram is a recording of the physical nature of light. Although we can’t touch it, it has a direct, chemical response on photo paper.
