Underpass
Series of 24 cyanotype print
19 x 28 cm each

One of the first days of my stay in London, I walked through an underpass and I noticed the walls were covered in seemingly random shapes in various shades of blue. The whole thing looked like an unintended mural. I made some photographs and the following days I often thought back of it, wondering why it grabbed my attention. Clearly the paint was applied to cover graffiti and tags, yet that didn't explain why I was looking at blue shapes. Afterwards, I would often made sure I walked the same route, going through the same underpass, each time taking photos with my mobile phone. In the studio I started experimenting with cyanotype to print the images, and the series is the outcome of this process. I'm interested in how the prints almost become cinematic, conveying something of the initial experience. Yet, I also feel the images are something that wasn't there before. For me the scale of the work is particularly relevant. I think the small size of individual pictures of these quite monumental painterly gestures, brought together in a grid, make the work talk about visibility.
