Titel: Proof of life
Nathan Gates – Proof of Life (2020)
Cyanotype on paper 375×375mm (float mounted & framed in swiss walnut)
Nathan Gates’ Proof of Life series explores the intersection of art and science, capturing the fragility and resilience of human existence. Created during the COVID-19 lockdown, this cyanotype features a bacterial culture grown in a petri dish, evoking the image of the moon. The work reflects a collective moment in history when we were confined indoors, united by the simple yet profound act of looking up at the night sky. Gates’ innovative process, combining organic materials with light-sensitive printing techniques, transforms microscopic life into a cosmic metaphor — a reminder of both our isolation and our shared connection.
