1996
in this block (starting from 1996), a photo-technical level is added to the material work. here the material surfaces are coated, (mostly sand on hessian), in the darkroom with an photo-sensitive black and white photoemulsion. these ' blanks ' are then exposed, fixed and washed like a normal black and white photo in the darkroom. the motives are shot on a b/w miniature film.
Christian Blau uses 'Laborpartner' photochemicals.
