finger prints.

these are (darkroom) prints in association with my next installation, but apart from it.





where is my presence in the clean, pristine photographs i've been taught to make? do i not touch my supplies? do all traces get washed away in some bath before i have to handle them with cotton gloves? and are these prints not three dimensional objects, not simply windows to another time and place? i wanted to see my images without the images, see my hands, how i touch them, where i am and that they are objects right in front of me.
