I visited the V&A beginning of November 2010 and stumbled across this amazing exhibition of work by five international contemporary artists; my favourite being Floris Neusüss. All of the artists images were created not with a camera, but by using photographic paper and casted shapes onto surfaces.
The camera-less photographs show what has never really existed. They are also always 'an original' because they are not made from a negative. Encountered as fragments, traces, signs, memories or dreams, they leave room for the imagination, transforming the world of objects into a world of visions.
If you visit the V&A website, under this current exhibition you can watch a video on Floris Neusüs and his photograms at Lacock Abbey in Wiltshire, which was where one of the first photographic negatives were created by William Talbot in 1835.
