Angela Strassheim

This isn't related directly to my project, but I stumbled upon a great photo blog today and thought this post was really cool.




This is from a series called "Evidence" by Angela Strassheim. For this project Strassheim researched the locations of violent and horrific crimes, then approached the new land owners and tenants asking if she could uncover the history of their residence.
She used a substance called the "Blue Star" solution to activate the physical memory of blood through its contact with remaining proteins on the walls. Her long exposure photographs reveal the blood as "a lurid glow".
