About the Item

Leaf No. 26C1, limited edition, archival pigment ink print, signed and numbered Our world is immersed in light, but its physical essence is chemical. Digital photographic processes can record that illumination, but they cannot touch the wet, chemical essence that makes up life. The images in Reversing Photosynthesis were made photographically without the direct interaction of light or lenses. Leaves absorb sunlight and convert it to chemical energy which they store in their structures. Removed from plants and trees, these leaves began a slow process of death. They were placed in direct contact with light-sensitive photographic paper and left in total darkness for days to months to document this change. As they broke down, their stored light would slowly leak out to expose the paper and form images. This paper was then developed like traditional chemical prints. This series represents a return to my roots and to those of photography; one that reflects my own aging process and mortality. For me, this is perhaps a way to hang onto the fleeting substance of life. --Edward Bateman 2020
