This image, which is actually stapled to my studio wall, is of my partner in our old garden. It probably dates from around 2002/3. I had bought a Lubitel Universal twin lens medium format camera from a charity shop and was photographing everything, trying it out. This image looks to be at least a double exposure – possibly three, possibly more, with one slight movement on my part, and that of the subject.
Quite what caused the spiral markings, I don’t know. I developed and printed the film myself, and tend to use out of date paper (other people’s cast offs are a feature across my work) but this effect is on the negative, and no other image had this effect.
