The starting point for this series is a slide frame with a protective glass cover (dimensions: 23 x 35 mm), typically used to secure diapositives. Organic and inorganic materials (e.g., leaves, blooms/flowers, dust, dead insects, mold, fossil resin, plastic, acrylic glue, oil, water, saliva, and soap) are carefully placed on the glass cover of the slide frame. In the next step, the slide frame is projected onto the wall using a slide projector. This enlarged image is then photographed.
After final editing on the computer, the image is printed and mounted onto an aluminum backing.
