I agree it was quite interesting, but my French is non existent.

Nice enlarger, looks like a 254mm x 254mm unit.

She uses film to the extreme, maltreating it. Partially with the image literally dissolving and screening that, including the minime noise sound evoked by that. And that was what made me hinting at her.
Sure this is hard stuff for the Ansel Adamians amongst us...


The enlarger is a 10x10" 2kWatts Durst HL 2501 AF.
First time I see it on Video.

Are you of Arab origin - what is your story?

AgX, thanks for that information. I could see emulsion lifting/moving and wondered if she was lifting the emulsion to put it onto another medium, but it seems that is not the case.

I took a gues about the enlarger size going on the negative holder shape and size. Officially they were a 250mm x 250mm unit, it would seem; going by the name that is.

Interesting.

Mick.

Officially it was 10x10", but it seems the designations of these enlargers beginning with 25.. indicate the nominal metrical size, as models 138 and 184.
