- Description
- 31 individual Moiré filters in wax paper envelopes with instruction manuals in a repurposed Ansco Photographic Paper box. Filters are in various patterns and shapes and are coloured either black, pink, yellow, or teal.Moiré filters were used in developing photographs to create textured blocks of colour in order to enhance printed images, usually in advertisement. Moiré patterns are made by overlapping fine-line patterns (such as pinstripes) that are offset from each other at a slight angle - these patterns will appear and disappear depending on the resolution they appear in.
