Ala Ebtekar, Thirty-Six Views of the Moon (from the San Jose Museum of Art)
Cyanotype prints on found book pages exposed to moonlight.
Thirty-six Views of the Moon is a collection of night exposures, left from dusk till dawn and exposed by moonlight on book pages from texts referencing the moon and night sky spanning the last ten centuries. Working with photographic negatives of the Moon from the Lick Observatory archives in Northern California and treating each book page with Potassium ferricyanide and Ammonium ferric citrate (cyanotype) to make the surface of the page light-sensitive, the pages are then exposed overnight by the UV-light emitted by the moon. The work takes its cue from a poem by Omar Khayyam that imagines us as the objects of the Moon’s omnipresent gaze and, in response, produces a vignette of windows on the Moon that abstract the typical celestial gaze, merging galaxy with ground to collapse space and time.

Revised 3d-printed lens board for my large format lens from 1850. It is a big chonker for a lens that only covers 4x5, but it has been a pleasure working to get it back into image-making after more than a century out of service.
Lots of challenges remain when trying this for image making. This lens pre-dates even waterhouse stops, so has a fixed aperture of about f3.7 (which is enormous and super fast in large format terms), and has no built in shutter.
I still don't have a serviceable shutter for it, so to get into image-making sooner without wasting film, I'm trying out direct cyanotype photography. The image below is my first attempt: a 4.5-hour exposure on paper treated a month or so before the attempt. This image is inverted from the original blue paper negative. This was a poor choice of subject for such a long exposure (there are flowers here, many concealed by the deteriorated chemistry) as they moved in the wind.

I'm working on modifying a 1950's vintage electric Packard-style shutter into something Arduino-controlled so I don't have to have the camera plugged into the wall and rely on super old wiring. When I have a functional shutter, I should be able to find some low-sensitivity film (ISO 10 or less) to take some regular film photos.

pages from 'a world of plenty', a cyanotyped and handbound artist book using cyborgs to explore transness, gender, nature, technology + their intersections (and my last uni project ever !!!) ... gonna be posting more of the pages soon ^_^
