A collaboration with the Graphische Sammlung ETH Zurich and the Ulster Museum Belfast
The Swiss artist Daniela Keiser (*1963) presents five large tableaux of cyanotypes with views of Panská skála in the study room of the Kupferstich-Kabinett. The former quarry in Kamenický Šenov, a Czech town about 60 kilometers southwest of Dresden, is distinguished by its regular, upright basalt columns.

Die geologische Sehenswürdigkeit
To create the pictures, the artist chose a 19th-century photographic process, in which the photographic paper is made photosensitive based on iron rather than on silver, producing the so-called Berlin blue. Tinted and alienated in this way, the focus of the monumental representations is put on the geometry of the rocks.
In Blue Links, Daniela Keiser connects freely associated ideas, images, and the structures of European living conditions with aspects of history, landscape, settlement, and trade. The blue photographs of Panská skála are inspired by the nocturnal satellite images of the Earth, the “Blue Banana” as a concept of the metropolitan area that stretches from Manchester to Milan, and the cyanotypes by the photo-pioneer Anna Atkins. Works from the Kupferstich-Kabinett supplement the exhibition.
