Photography, Fernanda Armada
This film roll was altered with a flower tea and for this edition, I chose the underexposed photos, which are normally seen as a mistake or are usually discarded. The alteration and transformation of images through a sensitive and soft medium such as flowers create almost pictorial images with an ethereal air where error is the main ingredient of the generated texture, evoking abstract paintings without ceasing to be photography in itself and the strictest sense.
El rollo de estas fotos fue alterado con un té de flores y para esta edición escogí las fotos que salieron subexpuestas, que normalmente son vistas como un error o que suelen ser desechadas. La alteración y transformación de las imágenes mediante un medio sensible y suave como son as flores crea imágenes casi pictóricas con un aire etéreo donde el error es el ingrediente principal de la textura que se genera, evocando a pinturas abstractas pero sin dejar de ser fotografía en el mas estricto sentido.
