Magic Lantern Slides at the Museum of Childhood in London

An ongoing project is Lightbox for London - I stick photographic slides onto the illuminated lights that run along the roofs of buses. It is an enjoyable project that has shared over two hundred images to an audience of commuters as well as the followers of the blog. 

The final image of a couple lying together in front of a ruined monastery always makes me smile. The moment I spotted this couple that occupy 4 x 2 millimetres of this slide was a delightful surprise that made me feel lucky to observe this intimate and personal moment which had perhaps not even been noticed by the photographer him/herself. 

If you enjoy this blog you might also like one of my other blogs which was Inspired by the framed details as seen throughout Max Ernst's third chapter of Une Semaine de Bonté (1934). 

The slides have turned red/pink over time as the chemicals within the acetate are unstable; in most cases the cyan layer fades first leaving a magenta and yellow heavy image. This makes them useless for the library and meant that they were thrown away - However, I managed to keep a collection of them.

I am going to start a new project using photographic slides called skin slides, but before I do I wanted to give a summary of my projects so far in the next few posts.
