African Kitchen, The Other Half Series framed photographic print by Iulia Filipovscaia

Artist: Iulia FilipovscaiaAfrican Kitchen (The Other Half Series)32.5 x 42 cm, framed, edition of 1/3 (+ 1 AP), 2002- 2012This particular picture from the series was taken in West Africa.The Other Half, so far spanning over a decade, is a collection of abstract analog images - first frames of a 35mm film, that collectively form accidental narratives. Some have emerged from chemical errors, color errors, others from the absence of light and lack of information on the film itself. However, all are births of each film roll’s photographic interaction with the world. They are a beginning and simultaneously an end of a journey. A story half told.
