In this article, I will introduce my explorations with cameraless photochemical film processes, among them cyanotype. I work with fabric, nontoxic chemicals, light, air, and water in order to engage with natural materials the environment is made of.

Focusing on metabolic conversions, I am particularly interested in the development of an approach which is based on the idea that all life is entangled. Fjord Fabric (2022) is part of a series of cyanotypes on fabric, which I make on the coast. Where the sea meets land. The cloth has been exposed on a beach in Trondheim, Norway. Seawater, stones, and algae are blueprinted: https://vimeo.com/707491073.

Please find videos and analog films (scans) to the theme online: https://vimeo.com/channels/corporealities.

As for nature, we begin by loving it without knowing it, without really seeing it, by actualizing in things a love that has its basis elsewhere. Then we search for its details because we love it as a whole without knowing why. The enthusiastic descriptions given of it are [mehr]
Textus / Virus
Weaving a connective tissue: A fabric that mediates exchange. The word 'textus', borrowed from Latin, is being used in a metaphorical way. In Stitches in the Heart (2019), a multiple exposure 16 mm short film of a minimally invasive cardiac surgery on the mitral valve, I traced the processes of sewing. The operation was performed by means of endoscopic 3D videography. The film introduces a [mehr]
