Cyanotype (100 cm x 100 cm)
2011
The work 85 min., 140 min., 65 min., 135 min., 120 min. consists of five cyanotypes, in which sedated animals are placed on the surface of a sensitized paper and a cyanotype print is made while the animals are asleep. The duration of the caption makes it possible to look at the object over an extended period of time to investigate objectification through the notion of time - via a specific process or through a lens something transforms from one meaning to another. The work refers not only to the time it took to make the photographic imprint, but also to the amount of time taken to objectify and use a body for purposes other than just portraying – being artistic, criminal, scientific, aesthetic, or political.
The work was exhibited as part of the group exhibition World in My Eyes curated by FarAwaySoClose / Anna Johansson (SE) and Jessica Segerlund (SE) at Kunsthal Brandts, Odense, Denmark.
