Blå Spor - Handmade Book

(only one left - collectors item)


BLÅ SPOR
This meeting between artist Cathrine Raben Davidsen and writer Naja Marie Aidt is a delicate, almost transparent presence. Blå Spor contains both private photographs, new cyanotypes, and lithographs – all working in concert with 9 poems by Aidt to establish a deep sense of melancholia. The risograph-prints and cyanotypes are the perfect conveyers of the blue tone of Aidt’ poems, while the poems draw out unnoticed sides of the visual material. The lines of Davidsen’s pen move imperceptively into Aidt’s poetry, blending with the cyanotypes until all that remains is a disembodied voice faintly murmuring throughout. Turning the pages of the book is like taking steps further and further into some in-between state; a haunted landscape where past and present co-exist in a perpetual sense of loss.
