REVELATIONS IN THE DARK
2009-04-27Italian artist Roberto Saletti conjures images from a time and space less defined and more like enigmatic memories with his “partial revelation” darkroom techniques.
Saletti’s photographic explorations go beyond what is captured through his camera lens and begins with the creative work in the darkroom. Stretching the nature of the photographic image, Saletti uses a process of painting developing solution onto the white photograph paper with a rag after exposing the image onto the paper. This technique pushes his original image and creates greater freedom and expressiveness in Saletti’s photographic artwork. Saletti commented, “I have learned to make optimal photos from a technical point of view; then I have realized I was being bored and I pushed to search for greater freedom.”
