PAPER TRACES
Exhibition 2019
 An exhibition and performance at the artist collective RUANG MES 56 after a two-month residency. Working together with the artist collective part of the process was going through historical negatives and found picture albums on fleemarkets. Since 2016, these darkroom paintings have evolved as choreographed works, combining video projections, enlarged negatives, objects, and body movements on light-sensitive paper. Months of preparation culminate in a fleeting process lasting only minutes, where each gesture is calibrated to guide the images onto the paper’s surface. While collaborating with the artist collective Ruang MES 56, this ritual was opened to the public, allowing viewers to witness the images emerge within the dim red light of the darkroom.
