Vinogram

Unique photograms of Wachau wine <br><br> A photogram is a fixed shadow of a three-dimensional object on light-sensitive material, creating a unique picture without the use of film or a camera. The result is a negative image. After briefly being exposed to light and subsequently developed in photographic chemicals, the unexposed parts of the paper which are shielded by the subject matter remain white or lighter than the background. <br><br> The photogram technique is at least as old as the existence of photosensitive surfaces and is easily practised in the darkroom with black and white paper. To produce this series of wine photograms, it was not only necessary to work at night but also to specifically develop several black frame boxes to transport and house the paper during exposure. With careful and precise handling, archival colour photographic paper was employed, which is normally used to print enlargements from negatives or digital files.
