"wasted films" by Mads Madison opens 27th of Feb

"wasted films” is a solo exhibition by experimental analogue photographer, Mads Madison. Mads manipulates film, Polaroid, light-sensitive paper and prints using various tools and techniques, such as emulsion lifts or multiple exposures, and applying darkroom chemicals, bleach and other household products to achieve unique and often unpredictable visual effects. The exhibition features Mads’s individual work, as well as the results of his collaboration with artists Nils Karlson and Graeme Webb.

“wasted films” is the second in a series of 9 exhibitions that will be organised in 2018 in 76m2, Pontypool by the*kickplate*project, with the support from the Arts Council of Wales, Torfaen Council's Arts Development and Pontypool Community Council.
