refers to the temporary obscuring phenomenon resulting from a solar eclipse
Her method:
A mix of analog
and digital
manipulations
– creating abstract
images where
the initial subject
recorded on the
negative becomes
obstructed or
near-erased by
the different layers
of process involved.
Crumpling &
creasing:
Laval also
physically alters
her images by
crumpling &
creasing the
photo-paper and
scanning the
resulting object
unflattened,
allowing light leaks
and reflections to
leave additional
marks and further
transform the
final image.
