“There are at least two kinds of silence that define us.
One is the eloquent silence of the world as we were given it
the silence of light and beauty, the silence that holds a promise…
there is also sometimes a dark silence within us,
one that results from willful blindness and deafness.
We struggle against it.”
Robert Adams
In some ways we all live in boxes of one kind or another. The box we live in, may be divided into many smaller odd shaped boxes, but ultimately it’s still a box. We assign such prestige and value to these boxes, to the style of them, the decorations, even the area where the box is. Should they be mass produced to make them cheaper? How vulnerable they are to natural disasters, how ecologically friendly they are, the questions are many and varied and say a lot about who we are.
The image above of course was not captured using aerochrome film, it’s a digital image captured through a 720nm filter. This is my take on how areochrome might look, a celebration of its legacy and a nod to the way it transformed photography.
