Zo Damage, 2023. "Possibilities", unique multi-panel print on gelatin silver paper, 127cm x 7M. Test installation view, Building 49, RMIT University Melbourne, 2023
The artwork comprises an abstracted urban landscape captured using the in-camera multi-exposure technique to produce the interwoven and overlapping layers in the montage-like exposure. Spanning four 35mm frames, the negative was then exposed in sequence across eleven hand-torn panels of gelatin silver paper. Once exposed, each panel was individually developed by applying chemical treatments by hand (as opposed to chemical immersion) with foam brushes commonly used for painting and crafting
