Chromogenic prints
each 138 × 138 cm

A collection of ten analogue photographic prints that are related to the 16mm film Technique. The large-scale, extreme closeup images depict Tiina Soans’ architectural plans, which are rendered on semi-transparent paper, layered over each other. The transparency of the represented medium allows the viewer to see ‘through’ multiple surfaces and spaces, as if we could see through the photographic image itself. The images are further overlaid with abstract colour blocks and gradients. This underscores a tension between the layered depth of the image and the material flatness of the photographic object, creating a sculptural dialogue between two flat surface types.
