gelatin silver print on baryta

signed, titled, numbered on verso

On a film for 35mm cameras there are 36 exposures, each photo measuring 24 x 36 mm, consecutively numbered and separated by a bar. The individual negatives lie next to each other by chance. By selecting two adjacent negatives for one enlargement, a new statement is achieved. In the course of my life with photography, I developed an extensive negative archive. As an excerpt from this I enlarged 170 „pairs of negatives“ as unique prints in 2020 in the size of 24.5 x 54.2 cm on black and white baryta paper.
