Michaël Flocco loads 35mm film into a Zenza Bronica SQ-A—a medium format camera—to deliberately expose the sprocket perforations that normally sit outside the image area. The technique requires manual re-spooling and careful advance to avoid overlaps. Done right, it produces frames where the rectangular sprocket holes create borders on both sides. His subjects vary but here we're focused on florals and landscapes, all shot across various film stocks that shift the border colors from warm yellows to cool blues depending on the emulsion. The sprockets add a mechanical frame to otherwise straightforward nature photography. It's a lo-fi aesthetic that emphasizes the physical medium without pretending the results are anything other than intentionally imperfect.
