The starting point of this narrative lies in an unassuming basement connected to a water canal dating back to the early 1900s. Here a trove of glass plate negatives was found, unintentionally fused into a compact cluster due to the humid environment. Over time, these plates underwent a profound transformation, their imprinted memories slowly dissolving, yet morphing into something new, something different and unexpected.

A Unique Collection of 44 Physical Printed Art Pieces and NFTs

Nothing comparable, either physically or digitally, has ever been produced. This relic is unique. Due to the rarity of the material and the state in which the particular plates were discovered, I do not believe anything comparable has ever been created.

It’s about recognizing that before its deterioration, the original image did not possess the artistic qualities now imbued within it.

Creating art linked to the past challenges a combination of delicate skills and behaviors.

Sergis unveils his first digital art collection “Almost Vanished Friends”,

produced from his ongoing “Metamorphosis Art” Project.

Introducing the “Almost Vanished Friends” Physical/NFT Collection: A One-of-a-Kind Collection created by artist Sergis.

This incredible collection consists of 44 one-of-a-kind Digital Art Mixed Media artworks. The collection is a true celebration of the artist's bold imagination. "I took something that was on the brink of disappearing and gave it new life through the lens of Contemporary Art," says Sergis.

The collection consists of 40 independent modified portraits rescued a glimpse before destruction.

The collection was born from two deteriorated Dry Glass Negative Plates (DGNP), a long-forgotten photographic medium invented in 1851 and mass-produced until 1920.

The specific plates, which have been stuck together for over 4 decades and only discovered by the artist in 2019, hold within their depths a group of friends captured in a moment on one plate, and two young boys posing for an annual picture on the other plate.

Due to the humidity and dust in the basement where the DGNPs had been stored for decades, the plates fused, creating entirely new images through their random merging. This layering, combined with the decaying process, allowed the emergence of the hidden characters, which later on inspired an artistic transformation that offered each figure a new contemporary identity.

Sergis' artistic visions are now being realized thanks to NFTs. This collection of NFTs is a true reflection of his unique perspective and attention to detail and showcases Sergis' willingness to embrace new technologies and explore innovative ways to monetize and distribute his artwork.

The NFTs in this collection are carefully curated, and the artistic transformations applied to each piece are masterfully executed, making it a truly one-of-a-kind and invaluable addition to any collection.

The Almost Vanished Friends NFT Collection, is a rarity like no other, a treasure trove of history and art that will never be replicated. Due to the rarity of the material and the state in which the particular plates were discovered, it is unlikely that anything comparable will ever be produced again. This makes it a must-have for art collectors and enthusiasts alike. The collection, which has never been done before, is a unique blend of history and contemporary digital art.

The Almost Vanished Friends NFT Collection is available for viewing and purchase exclusively on Foundation.app. Don't miss this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to own a piece of history and art.
