MICHAL SHANNY — Where the Pavements End

2022-2023, Tel Aviv-Yafo

Last bits of nature found while walking at the edges of the city; Untamed corners of wild vegetation, plants and trees.

The films were developed in a homemade plant-based solution (Caffenol) instead of chemicals.

Made with various plant-based developers on expired photographic papers, 2022-2023

I use rosemary, olive leaves, black tea, mallow, vegetable leftovers (especially potato peels) and different kinds of plant material to print in the darkroom. The prints are then "fixed" in a salt-water solution or by using exhausted standard chemical fixer after a process of silver removal. They change with time.
