Lamberto Formiconi (Bert)
Born
in 1946. Microbiologist and chemical researcher, since being drawn to
photography in the early 80's, starts rediscovering and experimenting
alternative photographic processes. Salted papers, gum dichromate prints, B/W
prints tinted by mordancage toner, are techniques that have created the
history of photography. Yet, in those years and particularly in Italy, are
almost completely ignored. Formiconi is encouraged to try personal ways
through the modification of ancient recipes and fine-tuning original procedures,
sharing them in workshops, specialized magazines, group and personal shows.
