Solid Foundations Are of the Essence

Non Finito, 2026

Solid Foundations Are of the Essence is one of 18 artworks from 'In Development', the third chapter in the Non Finito series. The collection consists of a curated selection of film photographs inscribed as negatives on Bitcoin, an onchain darkroom engine which deliberately produces "failed" prints, and the outputs themselves, created each time anew with random parameters. Viewers and collectors actively participate in the process by rerolling aperture settings, exposure times, paper choices, and several other factors that drastically change the results. No two prints are ever the same: the work questions our relation to imperfection and incompleteness and the collector's role in the curation process.
