Aurélien Mole - 30 mn
Aurélien Mole - 30 mn
A photo report in an photo lab (artist's book).
With two disposable analogue cameras purchased on site, Aurélien Mole spent thirty minutes documenting a local photography lab, a relic of a bygone era: that of the industrialisation and popularisation of analogue photography. It took no longer than that to develop and print the two-colour negative films for this photo report, and to craft this brief introductory text—a little more time was required, though, for Syndicat to design its ghostly layout, in a book that plays on the contrast between matte paper and screen-printed varnish.
Aurélien Mole (born 1975 in Tehran, Iran, lives and works in Paris) is a French artist, art critic and curator. After graduating of the Louvre school in History of Photography, he continued his studies at the National School of Photography in Arles and concluded it with a Master on exhibition practices directed by Catherine Perret and Christian Bernard.
