Aleatory 0.2
Objective: Use expired 35 mm film in a medium format camera with extension pieces to disrupt conventional image-making expectations.
Method: Deploy material mismatch and mechanical instability as active components of the process.
Anticipated Artifacts: Overlaps, unpredictable exposures, gaps in sequence, structural irregularities.
Outcome: Photographs that resist technical precision were instead capable of evoking memory, returning the viewer to the moments surrounding their making.
Conceptual Core: When process overtakes predictability, the resulting images function less as documentation and more as triggers for recollection.
The images that emerged did not simply register light and shadow, they evoked the moments themselves. Rather than function as technical experiments alone, these photographs did what photographs are meant to do: they became triggers for memory and feeling, tracing the space between what was captured and what is remembered.
