Chlorophyll print




Bihn Dahn (b. October 9th, 1977) is a contemporary artist that prints photographic images onto leaves. These images are created using a negative and the sunlight to bleach out the white. It is a similar to the anthotype , using the sun to naturally bleach out the whites of the image, however this process is different in that the image is printed directly onto the leaf, rather than using the pulp of flowers or vegetables for the emulsion. He preserves his images by casting them in resin.

He was born in Vietnam. The subjects of his work include the Vietnam War, as well as other political turmoil relating to Vietnam and that region.
