Kenneth Josephson, Chicago, 1970

Vintage gelatin silver print, 7 x 7 1/16 in. (17.8 x 17.9 cm)

Josephson used an 8x10 camera to photograph the stones but did so with a sheet of paper in the camera instead of film and processed it. The print was thus a negative image. He then placed that print on the stones and photographed it with stones around it and so the stones in the negative image were in approximately their original position. He did this by again using paper instead of film in the camera thus the central image captured on the paper was a positive with a negative image surrounding it. This is how he created the top print. The bottom image was created by photographing the top print in the same manner. He made the final photograph of the two prints on the stones with a 2 1/4 camera using film.

Kenneth Josephson, Filmholder #1, 1971

Vintage gelatin silver print, 12 x 9 1/2 in. (30.5 x 24.1 cm)

(To make this unique photographic object, Josephson first photographed an 8x10 inch film holder with an 8x10 camera which he fitted with 8x10 gelatin silver paper instead of film. This created a direct negative image on that paper. He then put that photograph upside down in the same film holder he had photographed and repeated the process, photographing the film holder again but now with a negative image of itself inside. The resulting photograph, another direct “negative” shows the film holder as a negative with a “positive” image of the film holder inside it. He then framed it in the film holder he had photographed.)
