Visiting Ulrich Schmitt in his studio in Munich

Ulrich Schmitt is particularly interested in the chemical processes for the colored redevelopment of black-and-white photographic papers, which were introduced at the end of the 19th century. 

These techniques originally served to increase the durability of photographs but were soon applied, even before the invention of color photography, as a means of creative use to explore the extensive spectrum of colors.

In his works, Schmitt uses precious and partly poisonous metal compounds made from palladium, gold, uranium, antimony, lead, copper, iron, chromium, and mercury salts, which are reminiscent of long-forgotten alchemical experiments.

With his experimental approach, Schmitt achieves unique color nuances and a delicate play between shiny and mat surfaces.
