Hi
I will have a gallery show with approximately 15 large b&w images of approx 32x40’’ from my 8x10’’ negs . Since I wanted to print them in the traditional way on barytha paper. So I have built a special ‘Machine’ in the Jobo-Style, where one would roll the paper in a big tube, and roll the tube by hand. The use of chemistry is minimal, the need for one image is only 1 liter, and the development is perfectly continous. Just wanted to know if somebody of you did something similar.
The images of this gallery show are about an abandoned factory in Zurich, left alone for over 15 years. This industrial piece of unused land turned into the internationally known “Hall of Fame” for Graffiti sprayers, but also attracted drug users and was sometimes home to gangs.
I attach an image of the tube and two of the images from the gallery show (I hope the portrait is not too scary...)
