PrizeBronze Winner in Technique/Wet Collodion
"The Metaphorical Wet Plates" is the series of images obtained using the collodion process. Like metaphorical "OH" cards, these photographs can be a substrate for projection of the mental processes, the depths of the subconscious and the individual myths about the inner and outer world, where erotic attractions, states of fear, problems of self-identification, insoluble existential questions, beauty, monstrosity, madness are intertwined... Each image is a narrative from which the spectator can expel the author and find something of his own there.
