In a dark room, vases are impregnated with light sensitive chemicals before being kept in light sealed boxes. Like rolls of photographic film, the vases are poised and reactive, ready for the moment we choose to develop them on a rotating spit. By exposing to a UV light, the chemicals develop from clear to vivid Prussian blue, fixing to surface of the vase and leaving an negative of the flowers strapped to the surface like a photographic image. Over one hour, the process slowly captures and immortalises the flowers, a lasting impression of the fleeting life of a cut flower.
Studio Glithero are developing this project with the support of the Vauxhall Collective.
