  • Constanze Schweiger primarily uses textiles and textile techniques in her process-oriented sculptural works, which explore the relationship between humans and nature, space and time. „Cyan Blue Dye for Ballgasse 6“ was created for an exhibition at her former gallery on Ballgasse in Vienna. For this piece, Schweiger used a large sheet of fabric that had been dyed yellow with turmeric and was part of another exhibition six years earlier. The yellow cloth became the material for a new work when the artist bleached it through biochemical processes—including photosynthesis— triggered by sunlight, river water, and grass, before immersing the textile in a solution containing iron salts. Using the historic cyanotype process, also known as the blueprint process, the chemicals reacted to light, causing the fabric to change color. The result is an object in which the history of the material and its successive uses remain inscribed.
