ERIC WATIER
dscn

Three hundred images from Eric Watier's personal archives. All photos are printed in three-pass risography and are accompanied by their respective dscn acronym, corresponding to the name that the camera automatically gives to the image at the time of shooting. Pictures are laid out in chronological order, according to the date they were taken - the numbers in their dscn acronym increase progressively without following each other, what reflect ellipses of time between each photo.

DSCN is also a technical object. The format and the lay out meet technical criteria linked to risography printing, a process that involves oil inks, what means long drying times, as well as mechanical feeding of the paper which can cause marks and traces. In the case of DSCN, produced in double-sided four-color process, each sheet is passed through the printer eight times. The side margins are therefore calculated to avoid any contact between the printed images and the machine's paper feeding device.

The publication was shown as part of an installation at Aperto gallery in June 2022 in Montpellier. A slideshow of hundred pictures directly cutted out from DSCN was projected with a Kodak carousel. (voir)
