MYOPIA

THE BOOK

​

​

the images that are to be found in this publication were obtained all with cyanotypia technique

cyanotypes work by gravity and sunlight. By putting objects on surfaces treated with specific chemicals, the UV rays present in sunlight act on the modification of the surface itself, impressing the rims of the objects and their shadows on it

the photograms present in the publication are the result of an ongoing research on the space of the kitchen table as the archetype for the incorporation of the outer environment in the interior domestic space

​

the obtained photograms are therefore strongly linked to the time and space in which they were generated, representing the hinges linking the environment to the domestic space, presenting the kitchen table as a space for the incorporation of catastrophe

​

being the images the result of a process strongly dependent on atmospheric events, not all of the pictures turned out to be legible or faithful to the original ones
