The Ektachrome project was developed during the Picto Lab residency, which Lucas Leffler won in 2022. Visually different from his first project, Zilverbeek, in which he used silver-based mud prints, Ektachrome is nonetheless part of the same experimental approach. This project explores the transition between the silver-based and digital industries of the 2000s.
Produced in 2022 on the ruined site of Kodak-Pathé (1961-2007) in Chalon-sur-Saône (FR), this series of images, although unique, is offered in three copies, plus an artist's proof. Leffler reproduces the images directly onto colour negatives, the largest ever marketed by Kodak, thus elevating celluloid film to the status of a work of art in its own right. Each negative is presented in a custom-made steel lightbox, replacing the traditional print.
Leffler explores the materiality of film by applying the C41 process, a cross-development technique invented by Kodak in 1972. This process gives the works the saturated colours emblematic of the brand, while celebrating the heritage of silver film in an increasingly digital world.
