"Untitled (The Dematerialisation of the Everyday)", 2015 - 2017
filtergrams on analogue photo paper, unique pieces
This series of works consist out of unique pieces developed in the darkroom. Djourina's aim is primarily to filter light through an object and to get both a reversal of the colours, as well as a dematerialisation of the usual three-dimensional object. The selected objects are banal everyday objects, which are translated into unique aesthetic results.
"During the experiments, the heat emitted by the light source in the enlarger often causes the objects to lose their shape and even to melt. After the exposure process, the everyday objects no longer exist in their original form. Djourina’s “filtergrams” are the only remaining evidence of their existence: images of seemingly banal everyday items, which the artist elevates to aesthetic objects."*
