NETWORKS

do ermo

Do ermo” is the result of several trips on national roads with an analog camera. Using expired rolls to play with the randomness of chemical development and respecting the film’s imperfections as another layer of meaning. Human trace as spectra. Present absences, ghosts and desert.
