AFTER ATKINS: PETcorso Vita Unique silver gelatin photograms 17.8x24 cm each
Anna Atkins' Photographs of British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions (1843) was the first ever book illustrated with photographic images. Atkins applied the cyanotype process to scientfic illustration, placing algae and plants directly onto sensitized paper and exposing them to daylight, to produce captivating compositions which merged art and science.
This project takes inspiration from these pioneering works to explore contemporary relations to the natural world, making visible the secrets hidden in even the most pristine landscape. The photograms in the series 'PETcorso Vita' feature plants and plastic beverage bottles collected during walks in the woods, along the fitness trail known as Percorso Vita.
