Traum und Trauma

Origin: Static Issue 07
Content: Images

Amlehn Static

The following slideshow presents a selection of images taken from Paul Amlehn’s Traum und Trauma (Dream and Trauma). This series was created by exposing highly sensitive Polaroid film to chemicals, heat, electricity, magnetism and radiation. The images which are revealed through this traumatic process are at once biological and cosmological, otherworldly and intimate, scarred and hauntingly beautiful.
