Marco Breuer — Spin (C-827)
Marco Breuer

Spin (C-827)

Utilizing the photographic surface itself as a site of intervention, Marco Breuer's *Spin (C-827)* transforms a unique chromogenic print through deliberate acts of embossing and scratching directly into the material. The result is a dynamic record of physical force, where circular, rotational marks suggest both process and motion, leaving traces of the artist's hand embedded within the light-sensitive layers. Breuer's approach challenges traditional notions of photography by foregrounding the medium's material vulnerability rather than its capacity for representation.
