Good Morning Prussia

Good Morning Prussia (Guten Morgen Preussen) comprises of a small series of analogue handmade cyanotype photographs in "prussian-blue" based on the following Afro-German history:

Once upon a time, at the dawn of the age of photography, lived a young boy named "Good Morning*" from a land of great Pyramids, who was brought to the palaces of Prussia as a human gift. 

As a young man known also as the month of "August", he fathered a son named Gustav Sabac el Cher who later would become the accomplished Musiker (musician) of the Prussian military empire.
