Archive-Based Contemporary Artist
Working with Deteriorated Century-Old Glass Negatives
Sergis Adamos transforms a single privately held archive of deteriorated early 20th-century photographic glass negatives into contemporary works across digital, print, and painted form.
Rooted in a single privately held archive, his practice works through damage, erosion, and chemical decay rather than against them. Instead of restoring the original images, he allows their instability and visual loss to become active elements in the creation of new contemporary works.
Selected Works
A curated commercial image archive drawn from the same source material is currently in development.
Open to gallery, curatorial, institutional, and licensing conversations.
