The images reproduced in Flamingo, the second monograph by artist Chloe Sells, are adapted from photographs taken in the Makgadikgadi Salt Pans in Botswana, one of the largest breeding grounds for flamingos in the Southern Hemisphere. The photographs are created using an analogue large-format camera and later printed in a traditional darkroom. The darkroom process is spontaneous and consuming, layering light, texture and form to interact with photographic alchemy; some images are drawn on after they have been printed, with paint and marker. Because of Sells' method of working, each outcome is unique. 'There is a place on earth that looks like white paint has spilled from the heavens and splashed across its surface. There is no arboreal green. There is no azure water.' The book itself is an object of craft, with a silk-screened cover available in six colourways, a foiled title page and a die-cut running through the whole volume.
