Light Notes # 86 (A4 format)

Renato D’Agostin’s meticulous darkroom printing requires a large amount of testing in order to achieve the high quality of tonalities and volumes that have become his signature through years of life immersed into the red light. Normally these test prints are shredded and thrown away. Light Notes is a project that allows the imperfection to be valued becoming a useful tool, bringing his darkroom experience to light, shaped as a journal the audience can use writing notes, drawing sketches, like a personal journal through the light of the darkroom. Like in a notebook, lines are printed on the white back of these test prints, and every Light Notes becomes a unique series of fragments of light from a print that is now living a new life, straight from Renato D’Agostin’s darkroom.

Each Light Notes is unique and hand made by the artist.
