Over the past decade, photographer Robert Burley has traveled the world documenting the abandonment and destruction of filmbased photography, namely, the factories where film was produced and the labs that developed it. Burley's atmospheric largeformat photographs transport viewers to rarely seen sites where the alchemy of the photographic process was practiced over the last centuryfrom the Polaroid plant in Waltham, Massachusetts to the KodakPath? plant in ChalonsurSa?ne, France, the birthplace in 1827 of photography itself. As both fine art and documentary, The Disappearance of Darkness is an elegiac reflection on the resilience of traditional art forms in the digital era and a vital commemoration of a centuryold industry that seems to have disappeared overnight.
