Borut Peterlin's new project is , Great Depression 1912-13! Its a project that he wanted to incorporate wet plate collodion technique into his work. He wanted to make a concept where wetplate process would be a foundation of the concept, not a picture effect in the sense.
Project Great Depression 1912-13 is a documentary photography project where in wet plate technique he's documenting state of a bankrupt companies with an emphasize on things that people left behind after they have been working there for decades.
The title Great Depression 1912-13? was his aim to make a picture series that would look old, ancient, as a document of an event that happened long, long time ago. Borut wanted viewers to get the feeling that the sort of events happened hundred years ago and since then society has learned the lesson and this sort of things can not happen to us, to a modern man in 21st Century.The old bellow camera and wet plate technique is perfect to embed in pictures emotional detachment from the event.
