Scanographies

These images are the result of the use of a self-made camera, which combines a lens (from a disappeared analog camera) with a flatbed scanner that operates as the capture system. This camera allowed me to open an experimentation space. Time, which is understood as an intrinsic element of photography, manifests itself in different ways such as traces left by moving subjects that appears in the images. As a result of the long capture and processing times, which takes several minutes, the resultant photographs emulate the paradigmatic exposure times of the nineteenth century photographic cameras. An effect that, in visual terms, leads us to a sort of paradox since the photographs that I present here comes from a digital device.
