In this work, Mella Travers uses experimental film development techniques by using chemical stripping agents and re-developing techniques to create this body of work reminiscent of the 1920 silent movies.
The wall itself is a perfect backdrop where people and objects appear to be emerging or disappearing, with the use of experimental process showing the negative and positive image in one frame.
About The Darkroom
The Darkroom was founded in 2010 by Visual Artist and Photographer Mella Travers. Mella began her photographic career in the 1990s, working for many prestigious fashion publications, while also maintaining an extensive personal practice. Her work has been exhibited widely in Ireland, including VISUAL Carlow and RHA Dublin.
Beginning as a small space at the artist collective Block T in Smithfield, The Darkroom has expanded and grown, and in 2016 moved to a purposely fitted and designed space centrally located in Stoneybatter. Housing a studio, gallery, and a large, black and white darkroom.
