concept
By Latvian State Environmental Service the three most polluted places in Latvia are wood near Rigas airport, Bolderajas in Riga and Madonas district Biksere. In photos You can see his places. Photos are made on paper which was collected in this places. Viewer can see place not only in image but in paper to. And viewers are allowed to touch image to feel it.
technic
I used my grandpas camera Zenit EM with Helios-44M and Jupiter-37A lens and Kodak Professional BW 400 CV film. The collected waste paper was mixed with water, PVA D1 glue and liquidize gelatin. Later on paper was laid out. Paper mass was compressed and dried. When paper was dry I prime it with gelatin and later on whit Rollei RBM 3 Black magic variable Grade RBM33 liquid photo emulsion. When emulsion was dried I expose images whit photo enlarger. Each image had they paper from its place.
