The series includes images made with a xerox transfer, done in lockdown during the pandemic, without access to labs. By printing photocopies and then making high-resolution scans, the grainy analog images are rendered with a digital noise layer, resembling an early digital video camera. Working with this layered tactility became a way to re-contextualize the archives, making old photographs scintillate with new possibilities.
