I think this epidermotype discussion was started with talk of polaroid
transfers (if memory serves me).

The idea is that with emulsion transfers, you boil the polaroid print (after
small preparations) until the emulsion bubbles. After a quick bath in cold
water, it peels right off, like sran-wrap but more gooey! once this is done,
you can place the emulsion, image intact, onto any object whatsoever,
Including skin. A friend and I have been working on a perfomance piece
which includes the shooting, processing, printing and transfering of
polaroids onto the body.
Great fun!

whoever started this "epidormotype" thing, thanks for the ideas with titling :)
