Blue Stands for Liquid Solidification (2023) documents various stages of Regenerative Flows, an installation by designer Sep Verboom presented in the exhibition Healing Water. Regenerative Flows is a living landscape in which limewater flows over Belgian hardstone, gradually forming lime deposits.
At intervals of approximately one month, different stages of this evolving artwork were photographed and printed on glass, with specific blue accents. The resulting series of four images is presented as a timeline, each image revealing a different detail of the stone. Each image is accompanied by environmental data—including humidity, CO₂ levels, visitor numbers, and room temperature—which influenced the calcification process.
Blue Stands for Liquid Solidification becomes the artistic translation of the documentation of a natural process.
Installation view : Healing Water, Z33 (Hasselt). 41 x 25 cm, black and white print on dibond, blue ceramic print on glass, carbon writing, metal. With the support of Flanders State of the Arts.
