Description

Artistic team f&d cartier use unprocessed, industrially produced photographic papers to create their clean and minimal Wait and See collages. Because these papers, which are embedded with light-sensitive silver salts, have not been treated in a stop bath or fixer—the chemical processes that wash away the unexposed silver salts and stop the image from additional developing—they will continue to change and darken. These cameraless works point to the fragile nature of the photograph and of memory, which morph as time passes.
