The Tempi photography team, In Memoriam, proceeded to create a memorial project for the victims of the Tempi railway tragedy. Using the cyanotyping technique, they proceeded to print the human bodies on a specially prepared 102 meter canvas, which are held hand in hand, photographer Stefanos Tsakiris told ERT3.
In the process of creating the work, around 50 people participated in the Chemistry Square of AUTH, who with a special posture of their bodies left their own imprint on the cloth. However, it is worth noting that the fabric used for the project is 102 meters long and is the largest in the world, he added.
Cyanography is the "original" solar printing process, one of the first photographic techniques, discovered in 1842. It was popular until the 20th century as an inexpensive method for reproducing photographs, documents, maps and drawings. More specifically, it is a form of fast printing where the image is formed by a characteristic blue iron compound under the influence of ultraviolet radiation.
