UNDER THE SAME SUN




under the same sun: Reallabor für Erneuerbare Fotografie (2023)
The work is a large-scale art installation of more than 120 cyanotypes in the entrance area of BUGA 23. The installation was developed on site in forest areas in and around Mannheim over a period of two months. The departure point for the artistic work is the experimental history of the cyanotype - the study of light - and its application as a blueprint in architecture. Experiments with techniques and exposure times make temporal and spatial relationships of light and space visible and attempt to capture the experience of a place as a monochrome blue negative.

The work was created as part of the 'Reallabors für erneuerbare Fotografie', a collaboration of the Biennale für aktuelle Fotografie and the Kalamari Klub - with the curator duo Christoph Wieland and Nicolas Reinhart - and BUGA 23.
