It’s dark and dripping. The smell of chemical fumes hangs in the air.

Through manual processes, digital or chemical experiments, and performative gestures, Akosua Viktoria Adu-Sanyah creates works and spaces that are at once clear, revealing, and ephemeral. In doing so, she questions the limits of the medium of photography both conceptually and through physical practice. Complete control and complete loss of control define the space of the possible. The lengthy process of developing analog photographs is not concealed here but is a visible part of the installation, inextricably linked to the works, their presentation, and ourselves. By exposing the technical nature of the developing process, we are witnesses—and thus part of the photographic reality.

The exhibition is supported by
