The beauty in deterioration
"While working on the book "John Selbing: The Unintentional Photographer" we discovered that many of the negatives had sustained damage due to poor conditions in the archives, but they were interesting from a visual perspective.
In these images a further dimension of the photographic medium's basic task of capturing the moment has been added. A gradual process of deterioration can now be halted. Time goes on in both cases, but the photograph stops and continues to live its own life." -Fredrikson Sällberg
