33: Destroying Images [16.3.12]

[Relating to post 13]

I'm planning on doing a lot of experimentation on film photos to destroy and deface them to then apply the appearance of the images after deterioration to different ways that memories can be lost or altered. 

I've been thinking about different ways to do this, along side talking to two other photography staff at college; Mike and Dave.
They've been very helpful and with my own ideas alongside advice from them I'm going to destroy the images using these methods:

On Exposure:

Double expose

Replace 120 film with 35mm

Cover parts of the lens & double expose
Expose the reel around the edged

During Developing:

Don't put enough chemicals in

Don't use the reel

Develop colour film in black and white chemicals

Leave the chemicals on too long

Don't move/over move the developing tub

After Developed

Draw on/scratch into the negative

Cut out features from the film to create a manipulated image

On Enlargement

Overlap negatives

Stencil letters/write on the negatives

Scrunch up a full reel of negatives and put over the paper

Double expose the paper

block off parts of the paper and expose different images

Developing the Prints

Spray apply the developer

Write on using the developer 

Apply developer to different parts of the photo at different times

Leave in chemicals too long/not long enough

After Enlargement 

Apply Heat, Water &Acid (vinegar or stronger)
Leave out in the sun
Leave in the garden
Crumple and flatten
Scratch and draw onto
Put in humid conditions
