Artist duo Walter & Zoniel will be making photographic art history at Photo London 2016 by creating the largest tintype in the world made as a live event. The Untouched series sees the artistic duo pushing the boundaries of an age-old photographic process with the sheer scale of this project. For Photo London they will capture a life-size portrait of a British icon upon a giant sheet of metal, requiring the subject to sit for as long as 30 seconds without moving. In collaboration with the Victoria and Albert Museum and Gazelli Art House, the artists will turn the Deadhouse of Somerset House into a huge camera to begin shooting the series, with the resulting artwork on display during the Fair.
