saturation

  • An investigation into pure chromatic experience, this series pushes film photography beyond documentation into abstraction. Through holographic materials, prismatic elements, and alternative process techniques, everyday moments transform into ethereal encounters with color and light, existing in the liminal space between documentation and abstraction. The work embraces analog unpredictability while maintaining intentional control over the visual narrative. By layering translucent materials and employing multiple exposure techniques, the compositions build complex visual dialogues that question perception of reality, revealing a world where color becomes both subject and medium, where the ordinary transcends into the extraordinary through the poetry of light and saturation.

  • The series merges Kodak Gold 200's warm color base with Revolog Volvox's circular color distortions, while incorporating colored plexiglass filters and handcrafted CD-ROM accessories to create layered chromatic effects. The Volvox film's distinctive bubble-like patterns interact with light refracted through precisely positioned plexiglass sheets, while carefully broken CD-ROM fragments, fashioned into wearable pieces, scatter prismatic light across the frame. Gold 200's natural color palette provides a stable foundation that allows the Volvox's unexpected color shifts to emerge organically, while maintaining detail in areas of intense light play. This combination of experimental film, colored filters, and reflective accessories creates a technical synthesis where each element contributes to the transformation of ordinary light into extraordinary color experiences.
