Harzreise
Heinrich Heine's Harz journey
In his younger years, around 1842, Heine was just a student and fascinated by the romanticism as well as the rise of Prussia. What to do with these themes? He was a romanticist by heart, but this nationalist feeling…still, he looked for answers in the nature of the German hills of the Harz. He wrote about his walk on the Brocken mountain, and I followed him. He wrote poems, texts, and I took photographs – and printed them in Prussian blue cyanotype, a little joke Heine would have understood.
Pinhole 4×5 negatives, contactprinted with cyanotype, in a hand made book with Heine’s texts.
