Grskovic investigates the image archive by collecting vintage negatives from around the world. He then enlarges and develops the negatives in the darkroom. His interest lies in using the negative as an information source as well as a conduit of light. Through printing, Grskovic enlarges the images beyond their intended scale to separate the subject matter from its original context. He uses these historic images to aid in formalistic decisions to comment on our contemporary culture.
