In the darkroom, Pluta abstracts the source image beyond the point of legibility and into a series of striking blue and pink colour fields. She achieves this by manipulating the projection of light onto photographic paper with a range of experimental processes including a disassembled camera lens. Released from the precision of their manufactured casing, the unstable lens glass components cause the negative image to collapse and shift, slipping in and out of focus during and between each exposure.
