Cyanotype, invented in England in the 19th century, is a classic technique for creating images known for the beautiful blue tones it produces. Cozue Takagi decided to apply this technique that emerged at the dawn of photography using the light of the sun to print photographs taken in the light of the moon. What appears in the finished photographs are blue landscapes and scenes that have been bathed in moonlight and sunlight, allowing both moonlight and sunlight to share the same space. The moon and the sun create a cycle that is synonymous with time itself. Images where the moon and the sun neither appear nor disappear become infused with time, but are also without time.
