Harry Nankin’s large-scale photogram was created by placing large sheets of light-sensitive photographic paper in a support frame in a rainforest at night. The paper was then exposed to a flash leaving a ‘trace’ of anything that was touching the paper, including delicate fern fronds and raindrops that highlight the fragility of the flora of the rainforest.
