Q:This is an amazing blog, I was just wondering, how could those Lost & Found photographs could be considered as "art".

Thank you, that’s very nice to say. I guess you could look at it from many different perspective, but i’ll quote Marcus Bunyan: Like Atget’s photographs (his “documents for artists”) they were never meant to be “art”, but through morphogenesis these snapshots of places, family and friends reveal their inherent form. This beginning of form has been exposed through displacement, washing and erasure. Through this process of erasure these anonymous images reveal their underlying structure with its link to alchemy, as the image dis/appears from view; they have become unfixed (as in the fixer that stabilises the image in the analogue darkroom) from reality. In this process they have become art.
