Surrealism
About this episode
This episode explores the creation of analog surrealism through in-camera techniques and traditional methods.
This project explores analog surrealism by capturing dreamlike imagery exclusively through in-camera techniques rather than digital manipulation. By utilizing medium- and large-format film , the photographer rejects the ease of modern AI generation in favor of a slow, intentional craft . Each scene is meticulously orchestrated within physical environments , such as flooded forests and industrial sites, to ensure that every illusion remains grounded in tangible reality . The artist emphasizes technical precision and traditional darkroom methods, refusing to crop or retouch the final exposures. Ultimately, this series aims to restore a sense of wonder by presenting extraordinary visuals that were achieved through rigorous physical effort and authentic composition. surreal
