Sisimiut

2024

Sisimiut, established in 1764, stands as one of Greenland's most venerable settlements, steeped in rich Inuit heritage and historical significance. Situated above the Arctic Circle, this town exemplifies a profound symbiosis with nature, manifest in its traditional reliance on fishing and hunting.

Potassium Dichromate printing is a distinguished photographic process renowned for producing vibrant and enduring images. Utilizing a photosensitive solution of potassium dichromate, which solidifies upon exposure to light, this technique enables the creation of prints imbued with intricate detail and profound depth.

This meticulous process demands a temporal investment, bestowing a deliberate pace upon its execution. The preparation of the canvas involves days of careful washing and gelatin bathing, each step followed by a meticulous drying phase. The mixing of pigments requires attentiveness and precision, as does the exposure of the coated paper. Each color is developed through a sequence of washing and exposure, with the entire process, encompassing numerous thoughtful repetitions, culminating over the span of up to ten days for a single print.
