Iron Plate Projections Vol. 4 is an art project by Mikkel Alexander Grabowski. The project combines projected photography with the texture and character of weathered iron.
For this series, an original 35mm slide is projected onto a rusty iron plate. The projected image is then photographed using a 4×5″ Sinar camera and Kodak duplicating film.
The process creates a different visual impression. The fine details and texture of the iron plate become an important part of the final image.
Instead of focusing only on the projected photograph, the camera captures the surface of the plate in extreme detail. This creates a new aesthetic expression where photography, material and texture become part of the artwork.
