Excavating the Image: Photographic Interventions
What can be revealed when you disrupt an image? Borrowing tactics from Jorge Tacla—who paints ‘in negative’ to bring new truths to the surface—test out a variety of interventions with analogue film images. Scratch, puncture, paint or erase parts of the negative. Reverse tones or colours, flip the frame or crop the photos. Finally, after scanning both the original and transformed images, put them together as diptychs to examine how alteration can create new meaning.
