Description
My project Feels Like Home is in the tenth year now. After I moved out from my house in 2016, I found myself in many places I called home. I’ve domesticated those new spaces with a flower bouquet and photography. Once again, I’m finding myself in a new space and in this case I’ve made wet plate collodion negative and an albumen print. It’s an old ritual of photography in the new atelier. I’m blessed I have such a support from my soon-wife-to-be. Big shout out to Valerie Wolf Gang.
About the fine art albumen print
Albumen printing process was the process that made photography how we know it today. Popular and produced on mass scale. Invented in 1947 it remained the main photographical printing process until the end of 19th Century. The sharpness and tonality of albumen printing process is amazing. In principle this is simple printing process. You may make a print with four ingredients: paper, egg white, sea salt and silvernitrate. It’s fairly easy to make a print, but it’s very difficult to make an albumen print that has deep blacks and bright whites. It took me more then a decade of practicing albumen printing process until I’ve learnt how to achieve archival quality of an albumen print. This albumen print will not yellow or fade.
HERE I’m attaching the playlist of the project Feels Like Home. On 6th of October I will have a solo exhibition in Studio Pelikan, Celje, Slovenia.
