            Abstract

            The historic cyanotype process is an answer to current challenges of photography. Artists employ an outdated technique to experience the incomprehensible power of the photon and the material qualities of chemical photo-processing. The deficits of immediate availability and inescapable automatisms inherent in the current photographic discourse are answered by recourse to traditional methods of craft. My artistic project for an exhibition on dystopian nature is introduced in the context of the ancient method and its application.
