Quest for Light— Silver Gelatin Photography
0PostsIdem foto Gallery Sirius presents the 30th exhibition by Photographic Society of Zone System, Quest for Light— Silver Gelatin Photography, from November 12 to 18, 2026.
Since its founding, Photographic Society of Zone System has focused on large-format cameras and traditional silver gelatin photography, exploring the beauty of prints produced through the chemical reactions of silver. In an age dominated by digital images, the group seeks to rediscover the appeal of photography through its fundamental processes: shooting, developing film and printing in the darkroom.
The exhibition features members’ interpretations of natural landscapes, urban scenes and still lifes, alongside a shared project on monuments and sculptures in urban areas. Captured through the rich tonal range of silver gelatin printing, these works explore how monuments shape the beauty and character of the cityscape. Approximately 35 monochrome prints, all made by the artists themselves, will be on display.
