Blue print dress

During my residency in Sardinia, I created a blue print dress with the help of sunlight. To create a photogram on the fabric, I soaked the dress in a UV-sensitive solution. For the exposure process, I spread the dress out flat on the floor outside and lay down on it. After a while, the body imprint becomes visible. The human body, which is normally covered by clothing, is made visible on the fabric.
