The "Blue Flower" is a continuation of the photo series "Blue Pause", in which the artist Ruth Mahla uses the old photographic process of cyanotype (blueprint) to photograph and develop the manifold output of the Stadtacker at the Ackermannbogen.
In German Romanticism, the "Blue Flower" was the symbol of unattainable love, the longing for depth and fusion, and a direct reaction to the advance of the rational-mechanistic worldview and industrialization.
What do the romantic worlds of feeling mean today?
