Thoughtographic Experiments: Personal Objects – Results

Here are two of the 4 sheets of photographic paper attached in my two bags for exactly a weeks time. Each of them has their special purpose: One contains music and accompanies me to the bars where I work in the evenings, while the other one is more a chaotic bag. In the last named there are two tiny black spots noticeable in one of the images, which I enlarged below:

Exposure time will be determinated by intuition and patience.

Above are some photographic results received during the workshop with Mr. Pickledfeet beyond the zero held in Torun a day after the opening of the show at CoCa Awake are only the spirits.

Over night, I placed a sealed envelope of six photographic papers, Adox Easy Print, down in the cellars of the remaining ruins of the Castle of the Teutonic Knights in the very heart of Torun. The next day we developed them in a secret lab of the CoCa Art Centre. The scans are not the best quality, due to a badly behaved scanner, though the projections of whoever are clearly visible…
