My name is Roger Kockaerts, I am 80 years old and live and work in Brussels, Belgium. I have been active in creative photography since 1956 and had the opportunity to follow the development of photography from the Subjective photography to the digital age. Today I ‘m interested in using historic analog processes principally in connection to their high stability. One of these, the cyanotype process was invented by Herschel and for the first and only time extensively used by Anna Atkins to publish her encyclopedic “Photographs of British Algae”. My ongoing cyanotype project is also centered around plants but, in our era of ecologic awareness, since 2010, I choose to work around vegetal specimen which, without outmost care, are in danger to forever disappear. My project “Endangered Plants: a Tribute to AA” which I take pleasure to present has no encyclopedic ambitions but is more constructed around a series of conceptual pieces around the central theme of endangered species. I thank you for the willing attention you pay to my modest contribution to photography as a means of meaningful poetic expression.
