Travel North is a photographic series that began in 2017, when I came across a “special edition” of expired color film produced in the USSR to commemorate the 50th anniversary of the October Revolution. Manufactured in 1967, the film carried the chemical imprint of another era — its shifting tones and accumulated imperfections mirroring the instability and tension inherent in historic memory. Over the course of the project, I worked with a variety of both black-and-white and color films — Tasma, SvemaFoto, Orwo, and eventually Kodak — moving gradually from 1967 toward the present. I wanted to explore how these time-accumulated chemical imprints might intersect with my own way of seeing — how chance reactions, degradation, and unpredictability could echo the emotional states, passing thoughts, and quiet repetitions that shape my daily experience. In this way, the film did not only record an image, but collaborated in its formation, translating internal vision into a perception — an attempt to let time, chemistry and feeling develop together.
