ORGANIZERS
Boris Zuliani began his photographic career in Hanoi in 2007 and later relocated to Hội An, where he immersed himself in the 19th-century collodion process – a demanding photographic technique requiring chemical precision and hands-on craftsmanship. Together with his studio assistant, Hugo Armano, Boris has built a custom studio among the rice fields of Điện Bàn (Quảng Nam), where he meticulously handles every step, from chemical preparation to final exposure. His portraits – often of local people – capture a raw authenticity that preserves the soul of his subjects.
Driven by a desire to reconnect with photography’s physical and chemical roots, Boris has designed and refined large-format camera systems, culminating in a modular studio that doubles as a functional camera capable of producing 2×2 meter exposures. This feat marks a breakthrough in his creative journey, expanding the scale and impact of his practice.
Boris’s endeavor creates space for artisanal photography in Vietnam and celebrates the value of slow, traditional image-making methods. His work, curated by Duy Phuong for the S+ Six Senses Space, includes selections from “Day dreams”, “Itinerant vendors”, “Wanted!”, and a new “mobile photography” project – each showcasing the unique aesthetic and timeless beauty of the collodion process.
