Thanks - I like this and will do more!Congrats on the exhibition.
Comparing print to projection (even digital screens) is tricky. You know that, but sounds to me you still fell for it. Tread carefully.
All considered, going digital for such projects sounds more productive to me, but I guess maybe you just like that bit where you pop off the cap from a 35mm can to insert the roll into the camera. That sort of nostalgia can really get in the way of some good photography sometimes.
You grabbed some hard assumptions from thin air right her and fell in a dark pit whilst doing so. Let me clear some things out, in order:bogged down by process decisions that lack a clear rationale.
Agreed, so let's not! When I say projection is better and that side-by-side comparison leaves no room for doubt, I mean it! To have the same slide projected 50x and to have A2 print from it next to the projection screen - no competition whatsoever. This is given the service I used and the paper they used - outside my control, but as a consumer ordering prints in a prosumer lab, and as a photogrpaher projecting my slides - no competition, I'll repeat. If you ever come to Latvia, we could discuss this and marvel the projection in person.It's easy to get carried away with this.
I am, yes. I was thinking something along these linesAre you shooting transparencies? If so the shadow details should also be better resolved with a drum scanner and even the camera scanning method.

Not really, but I guess I was being overly optimistic with regard to flexibility.
Haven't done this and have no access to enlarger, but it would be fun to explore this, will ask around.How about making optical prints, as suggested above? They are projections after all. You'd need an internegative of some sort, but I don't think that's a huge issue.
plethora of artists work within a format and limitations imposed upon themselves/said format.
