VOID PRINTS 2018

Cyanotype on canvas: 8 x 10/2 metres
Burnt laminated glass: 13 x 83/83 cm

Canvas dipped in a photosensitive product were stretched in front of the studio windows. These windows, which had been replaced a few months earlier by defective glass from the Alte Pinakothek Museum, revealed their UV filters to be still active. Only the empty window frames provided an impression of the sky.

A video of the process is available under the website’ section “videos”

The installation was completed by a serie of these same windows burnt in the oven and flashed with the lamps of the screen-printing studio to amplify the degradation of the infrared and anti-UV filters. A serie of 13 windows was produced in 2018, melted between 150 and 1000 degrees, then exhibited in different places as open sculptures on the ground. (website section “Frozen process”)
