Agfacolor

Agfacolor is a slide film that made color photography possible starting in the late 1930s. The series emerged from research on RAL colors: archives were searched for Agfacolor slides by German propaganda troops, which proved unusable for color reconstruction – the film material was chemically unstable. Enlarged sections of these photographs make the aging visible: scratches, archival dust, and color shifts become image-forming elements. The material develops its own visual logic beyond the documented reality.
