Todisteita ajan kulusta – Evidence of the passage of time
Photogram
Household objects, liquids, photographic paper
2020

I’ve been interested in temporal concepts and exposing photographic papers under a lamp is a process where you can concretely see the passing of time. I wanted to explore the idea of not fixing the pictures but instead letting them develop and change over time. I used household objects and substances for example lemon juice, bleach and salt. These substances and light had an effect on the chemistry of the papers and I scanned the pictures multiple times during the process.
