Marco Breuer’s S M T W T F S operates as an incisive physical intervention into the photographic medium, treating the photographic paper not merely as a passive surface for recording light, but as a robust sculptural material subject to burning, scraping, folding, and chemical abrasion.
Published by Karma in 2015, the volume documents Breuer’s rigorous, process-driven experiments where the traditional apparatus of the camera is often bypassed entirely. Instead, the artist engages in direct, tactile assaults on chromogenic paper, puncturing and scorching the emulsion to create abstract records of time, gesture, and elemental transformation.
The thematic core of the work investigates the fragility and materiality of photographic representation. By titling the monograph after the days of the week, Breuer underscores an obsessive, cyclical rhythm of labor and material degradation, capturing the passage of time through the literal scars inflicted upon the surface of the image.
