Collection JC Ullens de Schooten
For these works, Williams loaded a set of dishware in the colours of each brand's logo into a dishwasher and photographed it. In the process of capturing and printing the images, he used film, chemicals, and photographic paper produced by the company that the colours signified. Williams captured the corporate identity of Kodak and Fuji, but couldn't capture AGFA's. The orange would oversaturate and turn into 'a kind of red.' Ultimately, in Erratum 2000, he obtained AGFA's colour by using a combination of Fuji and Kodak products.
