Definition & Bedeutung von "chemigram"

What is "chemigram"?

A chemigram is a type of art created using a photographic process where chemicals are applied directly to photographic paper to produce images. Instead of taking a picture with a camera, an artist uses various chemicals to manipulate and alter the paper’s surface, which then develops into unique and abstract patterns. This method allows for creative expression by controlling how the chemicals react with the paper, resulting in one-of-a-kind images that often have a textured and painterly quality.
