Photography in the Circulatory System is a artist book by Ion Grigorescu, based on the exhibition of the same title, curated by the artist and organised by Andreiana Mihail Gallery at City Business Centre, Timisoara, November 2013 - January 2014. In the album, the reader will find a consistent thematic and historical selection of photographical works spanning from the 70s.
"(...) The circulatory system processes 20 liters of blood per day through capillary filtration, which removes plasma while leaving the blood cells. Approximately 17 litres of the filtered plasma are reabsorbed directly into the blood vessels, while the remaining 3 litres remain in the interstitial fluid. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to provide a route by which these excess 3 litres per day can be returned to the blood. The same thing takes place in developing trays - the liquid that produces images gradually decreases, the contrast blurs, and the exposure time increases. The photographer is processing photography."
