Thinking the photographic support as matter, we realize that it is transformed through time. This transformation defines a slow movement of the inert materials that compose it.

Chemical processes accelerate the process of degradation of the photographic film, adding to it the matter produced in the crystallization. In this chemical reaction, the process becomes the image and replaces the photograph. The result is the crystallization of materials that expand continuously, such as a Inert Material Colony.

_ 2x light tables, 17 petri dishes, color and b&W film negatives, overhead projector, glass and steel plinth, cloth screen.
