“Body modification was my final project in laboratory class 3, which were about darkroom techniques. I chose to make multiple shot of a same subject and to cut the negative in pieces to stitch them back up, in ways i wanted to, not the ways nature made humans. This work is like a raw version based on one of the technique used by Jean-Paul Goude retouching technique. This shot and all the other shots from this series are done on Kodak 400TX that I developed myself and printed myself on silver gelatin paper.”
With the sixth and last attempt, I put the first negative on the top of the other since they looked almost the same, the only thing I did was to cu pieces in it. I think it has a nice ’80s look.
