"For developing and printing that moment impressed on the film roll, you need time... the time you spend in the dark room to fix under the red light, and slowly, slowly place the undulating paper in the acid bath. A shadow appears, a shape, and then the contrast between the darker and the lighter areas, to finally have in front of your eyes the image you frizzed and only you saw it that way, precisely. |

They superpose drawings and bits of images, impress the film on partially prepared papers, welcome accidents and give free space to inspiration. |
