A collaborative 35mm film project

Superimposition is a group project exploring shared authorship through film swapping. Each participant exposed a roll of 35mm film, then passed it on for someone else to expose a second time.

The double exposure process removes planning and control, allowing chance and coincidence to play a major role. The resulting images are unpredictable combinations of two separate viewpoints — sometimes complementary, sometimes chaotic, but always revealing something new.

A selection of the results have been printed as a book. It celebrates the collaborative and experimental spirit of analogue photography, where overlapping ideas and layers of light create unexpected connections between photographers.

Edinburgh LoFi is a Traditional, Alternative and Lomographic photography collective that has been running for 16 years. Our twice-monthly meetings are open to all - one online and one (or more!) in person for photochat, photowalks and workshops.
