DONKERE KAMER

In the end of my exchange semester at the Willem de Kooning Academie in Rotterdam,we had one month to make a free project.

While living there, I made friends with a lot of photographers by chance. I thus decided to interview three of them about our common passion. It was really interesting to learn more about their vision, the way they perceive what surrounds them and to share our anecdotes and techniques.

I made three books for each photographer. I asked them to send me around a hundred pictures each and I did a work of curating, choosing which ones would be illustrating the writtend interviews. The covers are risograph printed and it was the first time I experimented with this printing technique. Each photographer is associated with one colour.

I also coded a website in which you can order the books and listen to the interviews like podcasts. On the website, you can only see one picture per photographer and it changes every week. So if you want to discover more photographs, you have to check out the printed editions.

The printed editions and the website are complementary.

This project was conceived as an evolutive plateform, featuring more stories and photographers.

Donkere kamer means darkroom since we all share the interest in film photography.

I chose the font Questa, a typeface designed by Dutch designer Martin Majoor.
