Carbon Transfer Print|碳轉印:照片的黑不必靠銀,而能靠被光硬化的含顏料明膠轉到紙上
WHAT 這是什麼
Carbon transfer printing uses a pigmented gelatin tissue made photosensitive, exposed in contact with a negative, transferred to a support, and developed in water. The final image is formed by pigment held in hardened gelatin rather than by metallic silver, and colored tissues can produce tones beyond neutral black.
WHY HERE 為什麼屬於底域的世界
它把攝影影像拆出銀鹽世界:光只負責決定哪裡的膠能留下,最後真正讓圖像可見的可以是一層普通顏料。
BLIND SPOT 補了哪一塊少看的視角
carbon print 有歷史配方與轉印變體;名稱中的 carbon 不表示每張都只能使用純碳黑,其他 stable pigments 也可被使用。
