Sylphid, Vicky Salganik

Sylphid is a new, in-development self-portrait series set in Irish landscapes. Through analogue photography, this project is an exploration of process-led art making. By using in-camera manipulation, these images embrace light streaks and motion blur to create uncanny, ethereal forms, studying how the body can blend with its surroundings.

These works were hand bound into an 18-page booklet to allow the project to be experienced in a tactile format. The title 'Sylphid' draws on sylphs, elemental beings that inhabit the air and move with the landscape.
