Yes.
Photogtrams/rayograms, and the novel category of my student's work (Daro
Montag) called bioglyphs. These are made by bio-degrading (burying in soil
or corroding with slices of fruit) processed slide film so that "Nature
creates an image" by exposing fragments of the layers of dye. The resultant
objects (nasty bits of damaged film) have an indexical relationship to a
natural process, but what about the (beautiful) projected or printed image
from the film?
