“Tethered” is a mixed-media project blending photography, animation, traditional darkroom techniques with experimental processes and tactile materials. I am submitting only a selection of experimental darkroom prints for the Foto Slovo Open Call. Through themes of grounding and isolation, freedom and rootedness, attachment and separation, the project weaves a visual narrative that explores the dualities of connection and solitude. Incorporating materials like thread, rope, paint, and elements inspired by landscapes, “Tethered” emphasizes the materiality of the medium, encouraging viewers to engage physically and emotionally. By merging tactile elements with experimental approaches, “Tethered” invites viewers to reflect on their own relationship to place, identity, and the tension between solitude and belonging. The entire project, including these prints, other intervened negatives, and an animated piece, has been selected for a solo exhibition at the HUB in Barcelona Spain in November 2025.
