Die Gr眉ne Kammer: Alternative Processes And Sustainable Photographic Practice In Vienna
Together with three Viennese darkrooms, the photo lab Lumen X, the Werkst盲tte Analoge Fotografie at the University of Applied Arts Vienna and filmkoop wien, Fotogalerie Wien is exploring alternative photographic processes. The exhibition showcases local artists who are paving the way for a practice that conserves resources. Through workshops, the public is also invited to experiment with alternative image processes and development methods.
The selected works by Christin Al Shati are part of the series liquid traces, which she began in Berlin in 2022. Here she used the photochemical reaction of fixer and developer with selected materials, which she applied to analog photographic paper. Unlike conventional photographs, chemical grams are not created through exposure, but through the direct processing of the photographic paper with classic chemicals. Al Shati consciously focusses on sustainable practices by using second-hand paper, such as old ORWO paper from the 1980s, and used photographic chemicals.
