God & Man | GARETH McCONNELL

2009

This work is titled ‘God & Man’ after Leopold Godowsky & Leopold Mannes who invented Kodachrome in 1935. Kodachrome was the first mass marketed colour film and remained in production until 2009. The original source material was taken off the internet as extremely low resolution digital files, printed at a high street lab then re-photographed / double exposed onto Kodachrome; the final prints are made using the Ilfachrome process. The project was intended as a eulogy to the beauty of analogue, appropriating in the process the technology that killed it and using as its source material one of the most unifying photographic subjects of all time, the sunset.
