About

The credits will be displayed with the work of the Brazilian artist Késsia Riany. Through sun printing, she captures the essence and soul of objects in a unique and captivating manner. It’s a delicate interplay of light and chemistry. This technique transforms ordinary objects into ethereal images with an otherworldly quality.
The cyanotype practice embodies mono no aware through its very process and aesthetic. As the sunlight interacts with the light-sensitive chemicals on the paper, a transient moment is captured, frozen in time. This momentary interaction, akin to the delicate balance between existence and evanescence, mirrors the fleeting nature of life itself. Moreover, the resulting cyanotype prints, with their ethereal hues and soft, organic forms, evoke a sense of nostalgia and melancholy reminiscent of mono no aware. They speak to the passage of time, the inevitable fading of memories, and the inherent beauty found in impermanence.
