Cyanotype in Motion

At the crossroads of painting and photography, Mathilde de l’Ecotais works in her darkroom by painting directly with an emulsion of iron and cyanide, which becomes photosensitive when combined. She places negatives on top and exposes them to light, allowing the light to imprint its signature. Each print is unique, the result of a subtle balance between control of time and gesture, and letting go.
Her gesture echoes nature itself: both technical and unpredictable, disciplined and free.
