The former Weißenstein AG paper factory is located in Dillweißenstein, Pforzheim in the Black Forest, Germany. The factory was founded in 1861 and operated until the 2000s, when it was abandoned. To this day, the factory is virtually empty, and the future of its buildings is still undecided. I photographed the abandoned paper factory with B&W film which expired over 20 years ago, resulting in a blurry image quality with the surface of the film affected by molds and grains. 
    I tried to build a connection between the history of the expired analog films and the abandoned paper factory. I printed the images, glued them to a wall, tore parts off again and rephotographed the resulting images with expired film several times. This kind of repetitive process creates a lot of layers while the contrast decreases - until the final image is hard to decipher.
