Photographs

Negativeland

Photographic serial Negativeland (2009) uses the method of digital inversion of photographs of glass plates and large size negatives. They are shot in various untypical spatial arrangements for negatives (many actually being memories on darkroom). In order to shoot them most of photographic rules had to be broken, especially ones related to the composition of light. The serial Negativeland has won the first prize at Photodays 2010 in Rovinj and is in collection of the Museum of Arts and Crafts in Zagreb

Positiveland

Photographic serial Positiveland (2010/11) records various condition of the paper positives. Photographs have writings in the back, they are pilled in boxes, sometimes been folded or glued to the surface. Canvases are ruined by dust. Positiveland is complementary set to the one of Negativeland

Cookbooks

The serial Cookbooks (2020/21) records written notes made by photographers, mostly Antonio and Dražen Peraica but also older ones. Mostly being formulas and notes for various chemicals, these pictures are dwelling about knowledge photographers had to have in the early days of photography, which today seems as cryptic and secret knowledge.
