The work consists of large-format cyanotypes. White lines and fields are combined to form space-like structures, with their geometric precision forming a striking contrast to the almost picturesque blue background. Thanks to their technical-constructive appearance, the sheets remind the viewer of architectural drawings - supported by the procedure itself: Until the 1930s, the technique which is known as blueprint or cyanotype was used to reproduce building plans. A closer look at the graphics reveals modular structures. Ornaments from the interior and exterior of socialist modernist buildings in East Berlin were used as a basis for this work. However, the strict configuration of the original grid dissolves in favour of free, poetic structures. And on closer inspection, the "spatial models" also elude the fixed regularities of architecture.
