Latitude mesh

A photographic emulsion is a photosensitive chemical compound used in film to create an image when exposed to light. Agnès' artisanal emulsion drives this work, crafted with the precision of a contemporary alchemist.It establishes a dialogue between different emulsions: Kodak Tri-X, Kodak 3378 high contrast film, and Agnès' artisanal emulsion.The film is structured by three concepts: the descent in photographic latitude from the most light-sensitive emulsion to the least, the descent in geographical latitude, filming from north to south, and a physical camera descent. Movement, photochemical sensitivity, and geography are intertwined throughout the footage, accompanied by a self-produced soundscape. The images and music gradually degenerate into violent rhythms of disordered silver halides and distorted sounds.
