Roland Dufau | Cibachrome Printer
Cibachrome is a colour printing process that has now virtually disappeared. In 2015, Roland Dufau opened the doors to his lab to us, then exclusively reserved for collection prints. His machine, a rare jewel, is more than 30 years old and can no longer keep pace with large-scale exhibitions. In total darkness, where he sculpts the light, he guides us and reveals his know-how as he receives his last roll of Cibachrome paper.
