Series - FotoSlovo 2026 - Category « Old Process »

This series of seven black and white images is grounded in analog photography, with the use of double exposure as a way of destabilizing the image from within. Rather than combining moments, the process produces displacements. It interrupts continuity and allows different temporalities to coexist in the same frame.

The body does not appear here as a stable presence. It is already in the process of leaving.

Figures surface only to recede again. They are absorbed by surfaces, diluted by light, or fragmented by the image itself. Nothing fully settles. The body hesitates between being seen and fading, between form and its slow undoing.

This work does not seek to affirm identity. It approaches the body as something provisional, marked by time and displacement. Faces and gestures do not resolve into meaning. They remain suspended, resisting recognition as much as they invite it.

The photographic surface becomes a place of tension. Grain, blur and tonal compression are not effects but conditions that interfere with clarity. The image does not preserve the body. It exposes its instability and its gradual disappearance.

What remains is something that persists in between presence and absence. A trace that continues, even when it can no longer be fully held.
