Abstract

In their collaborative work, artists Risk Hazekamp and Miki Ambrózy perform a simple formula for co-witnessing images and imaginaries from different yet related analogue image practices involving microbial life. Their process offers tactics for blurring the line between process and product, offering a photo series and a multivocal exposure text.
