Les bras en l'air, le dos conte terre. (2017) Photography by Michel Morelli Chlorographie

Chlorography, "chloro" of Chlorophyll and "graphy" of photography. A chlorography is a chlorotype whose image has been fixed to make it durable. Miche Morelli has developed a fixing process that uses only natural products to make tree leaves as long-lasting as possible. Since 2019, he has been testing and improving this process.

Against the current of the current era, the photographic imprint in the heart of the leaves of plants by photosynthesis, teaches us patience again, and takes us to a deep connection to nature, its harmony and its perfection.

-"I like the fragility of this support which is basically ephemeral to make it durable"

Alternative process of photographic printing which uses the sun and the photosensitivity of chlorophyll. The printing system remains random but when it succeeds it is pure visual magic and a real feeling of being connected with Nature and something that escapes us, what emerges is precious by its fragility and rarity . The image at the very heart of the leaf reminds us that we cannot continue to live separated from the rest of the living. We are part of a whole.
