Buenos Aires | July 2025

Argentina

In July of 2025, I visited my aunt and uncle in Buenos Aires, Argentina for the first time. It was an amazing trip, filled with exploring, art-ing, and family. Throughout the two weeks, I documented my day-to-day with film and camcorder clips. Upon returning to Canada, I made silver gelatin prints and edited a short film. The culmination of the project is presented here.

Scanned Negatives

Throughout August, I spent hours printing silver gelatin prints. In between darkroom sessions, I edited directly from camcorder onto a VHS tape. This part of the process was reflective and experimental. I found a way to put together the pieces of my experience in Argentina.

On September 20th, I invited friends and family to my home to experience the works. Three installations were displayed.
