Where the objects shield the paper from sunlight, the characteristic purple-blue colour emerges. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThis series of works, created in 1995, was presented on several occasions within a scenographic installation, to which Maria added sensors. Influenced by the ambient light and the movement of visitors, the sensors activated a sound system, making each installation a unique experience.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eThe objects that Maria places in the space and on the paper are not merely random photographic props. Darkroom equipment such as developing tanks, tongs, clamps, negative sheets and glass plates, as well as electrical cables and chains, film loaders, spotlights, boxes and storage systems, are used 72 times as extras in a ballet on paper. The book aims to document Maria’s artistic processes and to explore the broader conceptual framework within which the work is situated. \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eApart from this underlying content and technical features, the book aims above all to be an anthology of visually striking images, evocative and poetic. The compositions sometimes yield abstract, evocative, but above all highly varied and surprising images. Despite its technological nature—however paradoxical that may sound—Maria’s work touches on something elusive.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eWith an introduction by Frank Maes and a text by Léon von Prada (Dutch\/English).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003eIn the context of the book, \u003cstrong\u003etwo exhibitions\u003c\/strong\u003e are being held and a number of events have been planned.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e\u003cspan lang=\"EN-GB\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/posture-editions.com\/blogs\/news\/upcoming-book-with-maria-blondeel\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\"\u003eMore information about the events at Convent Ghent and d'Academie BEELD in Sint-Niklaas.\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"padding-left: 40px;\"\u003eMaria Blondeel  is offering 24 of the 72 works as \u003cstrong\u003elimited edition\u003c\/strong\u003es, each printed in a single copy and signed by the artist.
