During my work placement in
Finland, I experimented Anthotypes, a
plant-based photographic printing technique that reacts to the
sun’s UV rays.
I wanted to focus my research on the
natural environment of the
Ostrobothnia region and the advantages it offers during the
spring season, such as the
sun, which is omnipresent at
this time of year.
I ran two
workshops, with the aim of
sharing my research with the inhabitants of Jakobstad. To
conclude my research, I wanted to publish all the work I’d done
during the internship in an
editorial object.
It includes my personal
experiments, a
recipe for reproducing the
anthotype, scientific explanations of the chemical reactions,
herbariums of each plant used,
and the results of the workshops.
