The witch pot

The witch pot I started from the primordial chemistry, creating a primordial soup in which I put my photos after the shooting. I mixed the four elements: air, water, fire, earth, with nitrogenous slag, sea water and crude oil, leaving the pictures there for days, exposed to wind and rain, that creating unexpected effects on the surface of pictures that, being taken with an ultra large format analog camera 16x 20 inch and direct positive B&W Harman paper 16x20 inch., already contained unpredictable aspects. It was a journey from an intact photo to a corrupted one, a transition given by time and chemistry and luck, just as people and things are changed by anything that happen in their life, being it time, or chemistry, or luck.
