Floris Neususs' photographic large scale works...

[yagmur_ersayin]

<p>I'm working on a project taking on a process similar to Floris Neususs' photograms where he captures the shadow of people on "<em>photosensitive paper"</em>.... I am fairly unfamiliar to the film world, but this description of the medium is so vague! <br>

Can anyone point me to a product to which I can apply a similar technique of casting large-scale shadows onto? More specifically, I am working on a project similar to Neususs' <em>Tablecloth </em>where he depicts a scene of dining onto "photosensitive paper". I'm assuming this is something that comes in a roll.<br>

What specifically is it and where can I find it?<img src="http://i.telegraph.co.uk/multimedia/archive/01735/cover_1735446c.jpg" alt="" width="460" height="288" /><img src="http://www.trbimg.com/img-559c1db0/turbine/la-et-cm-review-floris-neususs-von-lintel-gallery-20150707" alt="" /><img src="http://www.parisphoto.com/content/events_images/5688/file/slideshow/5583f9ccd74fcfloris-neusüss-hanging-one-s-own-shadow-1983.jpg" alt="" width="720" height="960" /></p>

<p>Looking at the examples provided, the top two are positive images and the bottom is a negative. The question is whether the photographer is making original negatives (like the bottom one) and then contact printing them onto regular or special paper to create the top images. It is also possible the photographer is using a positive paper to directly create the top images. </p>

<p>The simplest way to make similar images would be to buy rolls of Ilford Harman Direct Positive paper and have the subject lay on the paper, expose to light and process the positive. You can find it in 50 inch wide rolls at B&H:<br>

<p>To create something similar to the bottom image, just make the photogram on standard B&W paper. Several on-line retailers carry papers in rolls. </p>

<p>Another way to approach the project is to make the photograms on ortho/litho film, and then use the film as the original or contact print it onto paper or another piece of film. Arista makes the film in rolls in 24 inch rolls. You can find the film on-line at Freestyle Photo. The bottom image looks like it is on such film. <br>

Whichever way you decide to go, I'd perfect your process with small prints before spending the money to buy rolls of film or paper. </p>

<p>You could also use the above for a paper negative, and then contact print from that. At this scale, the effect of the paper fiber shouldn't be so visible. </p>

<p>There is no price given for the above paper from B&H. I presume it isn't so cheap.</p>
