Tacita Dean’s Double Negative II (Antigone), 2019 consists of a color photograph made from two separate negatives, which show a doubling of the mythical moment of the moon passing across the sun during an eclipse just before and after totality. The single piece of photographic paper has been exposed with two negatives mirroring the distinctive process, which Dean adopts in FILM and Antigone, where different images are exposed through masking on different parts of the photochemical film frame.
