Photobook made with graphic material collected during a 3-period residency in Austmarka, Norway. Working with Analog Photography and various graphic techniques, the artist explores how memories and perception are affected by depression and longing. Mixing analog photography experimental processes with printmaking techniques, this book intends to break the walls between both practices. Made using a combination of RISO and letterpress printing, the photos are transformed into screen-prints, challenging the boundaries of traditional photography.
Elisa H. Castillo (b. 1990) is a Chilean artist based in Oslo. Working with analog experimental techniques, Castillo explores the concept of memory and its plasticity. Currently, her work focuses on combining photography, drawing and self publishing, researching on how memories and perception are affected by mental illness. Encompassing the tangible and intangible effects of angst, the artist aims to illustrate symptoms such as temporary memory loss, distorted sensory experiences and the impairment of positive remembrance.
