The second unique work — and a visual language

The second unique work is finished. It belongs to series #39ED77 — and it is more than a second sheet.

After the first unique work it was clear that the technique holds. What remained open was whether a visual language would emerge from it: something recognisable from series to series without the sheets resembling each other. That genuinely took a few days.

Now it is found. The two sheets side by side show it: the emulsion, lifted from its carrier, with everything that happens along the way, on the paper — each sheet different, and yet the same attitude.

This has consequences for everything still to come. With this visual language, all sessions are now being adjusted a little. Not overturned — but from now on the shoots follow what they will become in the end.
