A Year In Film is the debut solo photographic exhibition by Christos Christou and features double exposures, film swaps and cross processing.Christos is an Eastbourne-based photographer who uses 35mm film and a range of classic and new analogue cameras. His first exhibition showcases some of the techniques he has been employing, such as taking a picture of an everyday image like a telephone kiosk, then rotating the camera 180 degrees and taking another shot before winding on the film. What is created is abstract and until the film is processed there is no way of knowing how whether it has worked. Another technique is film-swapping. Christos invites Flickr users to shoot a roll of 35mm film, then rewind without processing and send it to him. He then, without knowing what is on the film, shoots the entire roll again.
Christos' exhibition takes place at Okto in Eastbourne, East Sussex, England from Thursday 8th July until 8th August.
