Emulsion - 002

A portrait image captured on a vintage Polaroid 107 series camera, with expired FP100c film.

The negative of the peel-apart images is then altered with bleach, causing layers of the emulsion to be destroyed at random. This negative is then scanned and inverted, showing colour casts and liquid staining.

This process introduces randomisation and entropy to a once stable material.

The negative are then stored and go on to be further damaged by the bleach, making this scan a capture of a single point in time, never to be repeated again.

Part of a larger emulsion series.
