WHAT IS A CYANOTYPE?
Cyanotype is a 170-year-old photographic printing process that produces prints in distinctive blue tones. The word cyan comes from the Greek, meaning “dark blue substance.” The process was invented by Sir John Herschel. The cyanotypes are made by coating handmade paper with a light-sensitive emulsion. It then gets exposed it in UV light for several minutes using a film to get the best image quality. Finally, the print gets washed and fixed with water. If done well, the result is an image with blue tones in gorgeous, subtle variations.

My work 195 glaciers deals with the state of the approximately 200,000 glaciers of this planet and the resulting responsibility for the 195 parties who signed the Paris Agreement.

The sea level would rise between 35 and 47 cm if all the glaciers melted completely. The glaciers currently contribute about a third of the observed sea-level rise.

The 195 original Cyanotypes were created with 195 melting ice cubes in September 2019. The work is my entry for the Aesthetica Art Prize.
