Plate 01 — The steam room
The steam never leaves the room. It softens every edge, so the tiles look painted and the copper looks like velvet.
Plate 02 — Green tiles
One afternoon
The hammam closes to the public on Tuesday afternoons. The keeper let us in with a kettle of mint tea and a request to leave the soap where it was.
No people, only things: towels, bowls, a copper basin, black soap. We waited for the steam to thin before every frame.

Plate 03 — Black soap
“The steam does the lighting. You only wait.”

Plate 06 — Towels
Notes
Shot on a Hasselblad 500C/M with an 80mm lens and extension tubes, Kodak Portra 160, developed in Paris.
