This workshop experiments with the cyanotype technique, created by John Herschel in 1842, explored by Anna Atkins, photographer and botanist, and by artists such as R. Rauschenber and Susan Weil. The combination of diverse elements taken from our daily use, such as cuttings, plants, shells, glass and the body itself, contribute to the creation of new images and new narrative spaces, in various shades of blue.
