In Contact Sheet Series
The series speculate mass production of prints and the industrialization of photography. Focusing on the repetition of analog photography’s developing technique, the duplication process together in biology and architecture is questioned.
The series begins with the duplicates of genetic codes from sororal twins. The uncontrolled duplication of the same genealogy makes up the identical body cells in order to form two different individuals. However the mechanical process of double exposure could revert the idea of repetition in the framework. This organic process is compared to the morphology of the urban form shaped by neoliberal politics in Panama City, one of the critical late industrial cities. Genetic codes of urban construction represent the same repetition process where concrete slabs are frequently repeated in order to enable the endless duplication of the identical living spaces. It is not the completed skyscrapers but rather the duplicates of the construction phase that define the urban landscape, shaping the reality for Panamanian inhabitants. In contrast to the biological duplication of twin sisters, mass housing of inhuman scale creates an exquisite contact sheet for neoliberal developing cities.
